My point is that if I have anxiety ( I do ) and I get a dog for comfort and come home, my wife could be stressed by being confronted by the source of her very real major trauma. I don't have a dog, and instead take medication. It works and no poor dog was harmed physically or emotionally by me dumping my stress on the poor dog

Horrid analogy...
A better one would be that same veteran showing up at a 4th of July celebration and demanding that no one can enjoy fireworks...
Dogs love to serve. Don't assume that they are having "stressed dumped on them"...
