What makes people snap is the smugness. We spent 20 years, thousands of lives, and a pile of tax money in the Middle East, and somehow the people connected enough always seem to land on their feet with another "investment opportunity." If Jared Kushner wants to play global dealmaker with Gulf money, fine, but spare me the lectures about service and sacrifice from that crowd. Regular families sent kids to war. The donor class turned the whole region into a networking event. That's the part people aren't forgetting.
