I doubt there will be much celebrating for the human shields when they come home. Unless the war turns seriously ugly, they'll probably still be considered fools by the pro-war percentage of the population that inevitably grows as the war continues.

And what's the use of human shields, really, if the majority of casualties for the allied forces are caused by accidents (and not rarely swept under the carpet by the military)? That can't give you much hope for the value of your life, as a human shield.
