On the subject of veterans and veterans day... As a veteran myself I have always felt uncomfortable with the "thank you for your service" line. Most people are genuine about it but when I used to go places in uniform I just wanted to eat my meal in peace or fill up my gas tank etc. I wasn't there for attention and typically only was there in a uniform because I did not have time to change. Don't get me wrong I was proud of my uniform but also humble about it. At work for veterans day they have this slideshow up on the TVs in the cafeteria and break rooms with people who submitted photos of themselves in uniform. I kept getting asked where is my photo. I wasn't to tell them it is enough for me that you said thank you. I do not need to be on display. However... When I go to Home Depot or Sportsman's Warehouse I am not ashamed to take that discount
I rememebr a few years back some nigger was kicked out of Applebee's for pretending to be a veteran for a free meal with a mix and match uniform he got from the Army/Navy store. He had his DD214... Which was obviously fake. Showed his photos which literaly were Navy and Army but he was weating an air force blouse with army trousers. It was racist of course...
