Anyone think Veterans deserve more than one day per year recognition?

As a vet myself, no.

We get plenty of benefits already, much undeserved. It's a job that was voluntarily signed up for.

We're suppose to celebrate homosexuality for an entire month, but vets only get a single day?

Is this a twist on the "When is white people's history month?"

Most vets don't desire additional recognition.

That’s “look at me, I served SIR!”

;)

They do get recognition all year via "thank you for your service".

My son (E-6) gets that a lot when in uniform and it makes him feel put on the spot. His newest response to the comment is "Thank you for your taxes."

THAT is an opinion I respect.

Veterans certainly deserve recognition. But the virtue signaling has gotten beyond absurd. No one has been drafted in over 50 years and fought a war even though they didn't choose to. Everyone who is in the military now voluntarily signed up to do that job. It's a great service for the public good, but stuff like letting the board a plane first, discounts at restaurants, etc are just vapid virtue signaling not meant to actually thank the vet, but to make the virtue signaler feel morally superior. I know many vets that don't accept the virtue signaling because they feel, like you, they are/were just doing their job and don't need special attention for doing it.

F' no.

Too many vets have leached onto the entitlement mindset. They want adulation and free stuff. Everyone who has served in the last 50 years volunteered and got paid.

It would sicken most to see how many are scamming the VA for disability benefits. I have no problem with honoring/supporting combat vets and any vet seriously injured, but i know AF vets who have never done anything but sit in an office chair who are claiming benefits.

WTF you talking about? You do realize there are black veterans eh? Post has nothing to do with race.

Sure, the few who actually saw combat.

No. frick those losers and suckers.














j/k I’m a vet and that was a joke. But no we don’t need more recognition.
