Its kind of getting annoying. I understand its better to be thanked for being a veteran than to spit and kicked on yes. And I do appreiciate that. However, your tax dollars basically paid me to shoot guns I can never own, drive big expensive trucks I could never afford, and hang out with dudes I wouldnt have met hanging out around town, and some of the best dudes Ill ever know. Sure there might have been some danger and personal freedom sacrifice, but you barely notice that when you are in. Its just another day at the office dealing with shit leaders, politics, and crazy deadlines. So PLEASE stop thanking me for it or saying I deserve this or that because I was in the army. And if you do, expect me to look and feel awkward about it. You see a guy with half an arm or half a body, thank him for his sacrifice or donate to wounded warrior, write your congressmen to express the need for the VA to get fixed (they are improving but saying that alone isnt setting the bar high). And as an addendum Im sorry all my stories relate to the military. Its kind of all Ive known for the last 5 years. And I was pretty boring before I joined up. I had my fun, now I dont MIND being boring.
