The negative opinions coming from people back home really don't affect most of us out here. In fact, most don't even get the chance to hear them. We are just out here doing are job and following the lead of our commanders. We do what is needed to get the mission completed. How the opinions affect our leaders and their leaders I really can't say. However, hearing good opinions like the ones you mentioned above does help to raise our spirits some. It's hard being over here both mentally and physically, and to be thanked for doing it and having people tell us how proud they are, well, there is really nothing like it.
I don't know how well I answered your question, but if you'd like PM me and I can answer in more detail

However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V
