Follow me...

  1. It was their duty.
  2. You paid your taxes (so he could shoot shit, shoot people, fuck foreigners, do it all for free and get paid). He should be thanking you.
  3. 70% of most units are filled with the sick, the lame, and the lazy. They don't show up for PT, working parties, or extra duty.
  4. You will never really know who the 30% are who broke their backs for the worthless 70%
  5. Most "veterans" are fakes. I said "Semper Fi" to this old dude at the store last week and he replied, "thank you". Fake mo fo.
  6. Of those that actually served, most embellished their service. For instance, every dude I meet that served just happened to be infantry. Well, who drove the trucks, cooked the food, did payroll, pulled teeth, issued boots?
  7. Last and most important: those who really deserve your thanks, CRINGE and hate you when you tell them "thank you for your service".

If you really want to thank them, don't make them cringe, hate you, or inspire people to lie. IF you meet someone that likes hearing thank you, remember he's a snake liar. Don't have business dealings with him, let him marry your daughter, or take your beer.

Last and most important: those who really deserve your thanks, CRINGE and hate you when you tell them "thank you for your service".

I dont hate anyone when they say it....I make sure to tell them it wasn't for you so there isn't thanks needed...I did it for me and my growth as a person.

Dude. You actually say that? Seriously all of that? I can't imagine the volume of words ever coming from my mouth after a "TYFYS".

But to each his own I guess. I'm just more used to guys who jumped out 2nd deck windows in their dress blues, drunk as skunks, just to run back up and do it again. Cavemen types. The most civilians usually get out of us is grunts and glares.

"Growth as a person". Really? Or are you just funking with me dude?

For me that is what I went in with as intentions. Lol. I was 18 and being from Oklahoma with nothing really going for me...yeah it is what I thought I would get.

I did in some ways, and others I lost some of what I was.

[–] [deleted] • 1 pt

"Lost some of what you were". 100% nothing of what I was. I was a silly cry baby. Selfish. Needy. A bitch. Marine Corps sorted that shit out fast. Best thing I ever did for myself. I was a big pot head starting at 11 years old. Chose the Corps because I knew a self-help Koombiya wouldn't do shit. I chose the boot up my ass.

Well, you can't be too bad being an Okie. Okie heritage on both sides of my family. Crazy fuckers. Did you lose your crazy dude?

As a former member of the military (not a combat veteran) I agree with this. I walked into a Wal-Mart once wearing a Royal Australian Navy ball cap (I was US Navy, not Australian, but owned a RAN hat I found in a thrift shop, that I'd wear sometimes) and some guy walked up to me and thanked me for my service. It wasn't a Navy issued hat or anything like that. I guess he just saw the "NAVY" part of the hat and couldn't tell the difference. Didn't even ask if I had served first or anything. Literally could have just been anyone wearing a military themed hat.

It's all just virtue signaling for them. Makes them feel good I guess. I didn't do jack shit in my time in the service that warranted a thank you.

I'm a vet. Not some rambo type but I did enough to know I'm happy to be done.

I agree with your sentiment in part, but not your verbage.

Most people that meet me now have no clue I was in for 14 years. I'm a fat gimpy has been. But when I meet someone that was also in I say thanks and move on.

Because if we don't, then we won't have a future generation of american troops to do the job.

That being said, we need to stop sending our people into harm's way for bullshit.

We are liars, you are right. The rest of your post doesn't describe veterans, it describes backstabbing civilians.

I usually respond with "I respect your gumption."

I take veterans day off work because the thank you makes me cringe so much. I didn't do payroll but I did an equally worthless support job.
