RE: Do you think American soldiers are put on too high of a pedestal

They're not put on a pedestal. Some Conservatives worship the idea of the soldier. And if some of them have performed service, they might put themselves on a pedestal. But overall, our soldiers aren't treated that well. If anyone really cared about our soldiers, we wouldn't be in so many fucking wars.
My daughter's friend's dad died fighting in the Iraq War. Fuck, that was a long time ago now. But she grew up without her father because Bush Jr. Needed to get revenge for daddy. And it fucking pisses me off. If we gave a damn about our soldiers, and cared about them at all, we'd think twice before sending them to get killed. If we gave a damn about our soldiers, the VA would be the best healthcare system in the world.
