I'd add the observations of Representative Jack Murtha who has probably spent more time than anyone in Congress with injured Iraq veterans.
It's not enough to say that "stuff happens" in war. The civilian policy mistakes and judgments have put an incredible amount of pressure on our troops...the lessons learned from Vietnam (most notably the Weinberger Doctrine) have been intentionally cast aside...which as voters we need to recognize.
This is the basis for his anger, it's not resentment...but compassion.
