re: Has anyone noticed that veteran butthurt is becoming rampant

That's why I threw in that word personally. I'm not assuming that everyone is pissing on the deceased or anything if they don't act solemn the entire day - it was always a day that my parents took us out to the cemeteries to clean up around their graves, tell stories of their service, etc. We'd spend time as a family bbq'ing and such, of course. I'm not shaming anybody.
