Your friend is doing an honorable thing and it is obvious from the other guy's reaction to your questions that he was not really prepared to have a discussion at all. Whether you are for or against any military action, the people on the front lines are not the ones with whom you should take up the issue. For them, "Great Job" and "Thank You" is sufficient - well, not really but hopefully you know what I mean.
