Afghan Veteran here, military experiences will vary.
Possible some people are having the issues this veteran is describing. Most military folks are taught, trained, and live “adapt and overcome” - even if they are never specifically told that.
I don’t know, anecdotally, any military people who always had the exact supplies, funding, and office space they were told they would have. The missions never go as planned, and sometimes you don’t even have food.
My point is, veterans coming home after a deployment have other mental health issues that perhaps are aggravated by lack of control. The entire military experience is a lack of control.
Perhaps it bothers some more than others, but veterans returning from war aren’t really 75 year old “get off my lawn” Vietnam vets, usually.
