when I talk to strangers and let slip that I served in the us military, so many say "thank you for your service". at which point I tell them it is more insulting to me than appreciated. when I got out in '85, I got nothing for having spent four years in the service. there were no benefits to having spent four years in the military as opposed to having gone to college and partied with frat brothers. there were no jobs reserved for people like me. there were no prior service people in senior positions looking out for recently discharged battle buddies and shipmates like there is for the old boy college frat boys. and that is mild compared to how vietnam vets were treated. now look how desert shield and iraqi freedom vets are treated. do these people that never served think a simple "thank you for your service" actually makes up for the poor treatment so many vets are getting?
thanks for listening to my rant even though I might not be able to convey the true feeling behind what I am trying to express. you really want to thank a vet? treat the less fortunate ones with a little bit more dignity.
Us Vietnam vets were called baby killers. Told not to travel in uniform.
It's a nightmare. The amount of vets with PTSD and suffering immensely in silence is terrible. I can't imagine what some of them are going through. And then this kind of shit just puts a double barrel middle finger to all of them.
"...as opposed to having gone to college and partied with frat brothers."
I get where you're coming from, friend. But unless your family is wealthy, there's quite a lot more to going to college than just "partying with frat brothers." Especially if you're working your way through.
so much more, and maybe it is that segment of society this message is meant for. we fight your endless wars and all that can be done after is a lame "thank you for your service" while benefits are denied...
Dear fren, I thank you for sharing this with us. I hope soon better times will come with better treatment of those serving the whole country. This includes that those fighters get all medical care they need, appropriate work or training for new work possibilities and priority treatment when renting a flat. You did your part for the country and everyone else, now the country has to give back.
But nevertheless wars for profits of the military-industrial complex and other investors have to be ended.
I don’t get it, vets always wear hats. If they didn’t want to be recognized and thanked, why wear the clothing?
I don’t.
Only my close friends and family know (which includes ya’ll of course).
not all vets wear caps or clothing, just like not all heroes wear capes. some do appreciate hearing thanks, but is that all we as a society have to offer? just a weak thanks while nepotism for others runs rampant?
Agreed. Should be heartfelt.
