re: Spin off for those that have served in the military

You wear your cover (hat) when you are not in a building it's a respect tradition thing.

Everyone is so used to GWOT, they don't realize 98% of the Army did jack shite in between Desert Shield and 9/11. Blisters, STDs and other dumb shite is all I did.

check/service equipment, accounting and pointless training exercises is all i did

My cousin was a compulsive gambler and owed money to some bad people. He joined the Army to get away from them. He had a business degree so they put him in the Finance Corps. There he was in some office minding his own business doing payrolls or whatever and 9/11 hit. A few months later he was in Afghanistan with a briefcase full of cash paying off warlords. And knowing him, probably skimming some off for himself.

I just say thank you. I get this alot from Home Depot and Lowe's employees because I use my military discount.

So should I not say anything when someone tells me they served?

I say: "I was glad and fortunate to do it"
