I would like to get all the troops home and get them out of the cycle of continuous deployments to endless, pointless, profitless wars.
For myself I do not find what I did for my nation as being pointless. I will leave it at this as not to skew into forum weeds. I dont think (with few exceptions) most veterans that have fought would agree with you that it was pointless.

Enemies dont become less dangerous just because you abandon a area or state...

As for PTSD I have a close friend who I served with for many years who is completely a different person because of it... He apparently walked into mortar fire to help a iraqi citizen... not ran but walked...
