re: Why are we supposed to tell service members, “thank you for your service”?

What I find funny is the people that get all pissy about not being thanked for their service are the ones that sat their lazy asses at a desk and never went near a conflict of any sort. People who actually fought don’t usually care about this and just say thanks and go on about their day.

Had a buddy that was like that, he basically did nothing from what I can gather from his 7 years in and was ran out, he freakin hams up every chance he can get to play his service card for any benefit possible. Never saw a war or anything and claims PTSD and disability benefits. Dude is fine. Wife (non military) pulls the same shite with other working benefits that should go to less fortunate when both of them make decent middle class salaries.
