Respect is earned. Never given. As a vet, I don't demand respect. The military gave me a purpose, and really helped turn me around. Made me the person I am today.

That’s great. And my point. I’m happy for you. It wasn’t a sacrifice at all. “Thanks for your service” is bullshit. It bothers me.
Not Vets in general but it ain’t no sacrifice. Not at all.
Not anymore, it's not. Yeah, I sacrificed time with my family during deployments. But, it only made us stronger tbh. More appreciative of the time together. Not a fan of the "thanks for your service," either. I did my job. Nothing more.
🫡🫡 BINGO. I travelled a shit ton for work. Missed many kids games & “special events”.
I’ll take a bow too but I was just a man doing man things. Vets are becoming feminized for attention.
