The fact he and a few others think it's something to joke about is very telling.

Sober- "it was a pleasure to serve"
Drunk- "Thanks for the college degree, tax payer"
Assuming they are a tax-payer of course.

yep, it's way overdone, and a lot of current "veterans" really take advantage of it

Always awkward for me, never know what to say exactly.

What do people say if they served, but never deployed?
I have always thought of 'veterans' as combat veterans, but since 9/11 it seems like anyone who has ever served in any manner whatsoever receives the utmost respect and esteem.

If you can't see the difference between WWII and the wars and conflicts after it, I can't help you.
Anecdote time: the marine combat vets that I've talked to about this type of thing agree with me more or less. They say it's awkward and try to avoid it.

It's not a dick measuring contest. And as a combat vet myself, i find it pretty pretentious of you to try and claim to know who is or isn't "deserving" of anything. I don't want or need your affirmation or thanks nor does any of my other fellow vets. But to totally disrespect all the veterans from Korea, Vietnam, First Gulf War (where I served and fought), Second Gulf War, and Afghanistan, not to mention places like Grenada, Panama, Somalia, and Lebanon by claiming to know what vets of this or that war "deserve" when you have never worn the uniform yourself? Well excuse me but IMO your opinion is bullshite.

Thanks for that term. I know several of these people who fish for praise on Veterans day.
