If it helps the guy to blow off some steam after having a few and hearing about war stories all night from his two best friends, I don't see the harm. Seems like it was categorized well enough, anyways.
As for OP, sorry. I know that doesn't exactly fix it, but you got a community here that cares.
War is hell, and it does change people. I doubt humanity will ever get over the nature of death until the comet comes, the zombies take over, or the return of the messiah. Take your pick.
All the same, the best thing you can do, IMHO, is be that friend those guys remember from back in the day. Give em something to ground em back into the real world, so to speak, instead of the hell of war they suffered.
When soliders get drunk, some like to unload those stories, to relieve stress, just as you did in this thread. All we can do is lend an ear, and a kind heart.

Just to add also, my other friend is a policeman and he said that the UK police are preparing for unrest much larger than last year's riots, he wouldn't go into specific details but they are preparing for trouble this summer from what he knows and the training he has had.
