Its just the common typical US soldier vet good and relatable bullshit. In fact, literally every US show has to have at least one person in either the main or secondary role be a US vet, this is a rule, if the show doesnt have it then the government doesn't allow it to release. There are so many shows that have filmed pilots or entire seasons that we will never be able to see because the government banned them for not including a troop.
And the only time he's shown in uniform he's having a psychotic break and murdering an innocent civilian in their home. If anything his civilian reception is just condescending, with the Vanity Fair article treating him like a sad lil baby.
Yeah like he's only ever positively received when he lies his ass off about his discharge, and I feel like there's meant to be a noticeable jarring disconnect between the way he's received for killing "a [SLUR]" (probably just some dude walking!) and when he reveals the reason for his discharge. Like I took it as a condemnation of both the military, the bloodthirsty and racist American public (I mean all he had to do was say "some [SLUR] was coming over a ridge" or whatever and he's "a hero") and contrasting the exuberant praise he got for the former with the "jesus christ you basically killed a guy and got away with it, you can't ever tell anyone" reaction he got when he revealed the latter was meant to underscore all that

Is this sarcasm or have you not watched the show? I honestly can't tell.
