As a disabled us veteran, I would trade the weird obligatory lip service and being used as a prop for politicians who then cut va funding year over year for fully funded veteran services 1000%.
It makes me uncomfortable when someone says "thank you for your service" I get it, they respect it, and don't know what to say, I just don't really know how to respond to it. You're welcome? That seems fucked up on a lot of levels. No problem? Ehhh there's problems. Like, wtf do you say to that? I haven't found a response that I'm comfortable with.
I just go with "thanks for paying your taxes"
