Compromise on some things ONLY comes from apathy. It's a matter of prioritizing things. When you are in combat, your priorities are truly in the right place. When you return to the 'States they stand in stark contrast to the things this society holds important. There may be a way other than apathy, but I certainly can't think of a way to "expand my horizons" to the point where I care what happens to Paris Hilton, much less think that it merits more attention on the news than the deaths of American servicemen in OIF/OEF.
Bitterness gives way to apathy, the state most Americans live their whole lives in.
