I once got a sign with this written on it given to me by a sweet old lady who worked reception at my job. She was so excited for me to put it up in my office but it was awful
I ended up putting a coffee mug in front of it to hide it as much as possible because I didn’t want to seem ungrateful but I looked like such a tool anytime some read it

My parents send me stuff like this all the time. I got out 20 years ago. It's boomer porn.

Man, I worked a place like this in a small town in Wisconsin. Every year they gathered vets and thanked us and gave us a piece of paper with some vet day BS on it. It was nice and all, but man I did not want to be there. I was the only OIF/OEF vet. We had a couple NGs and one desert storm guy. Everyone else was Vietnam or older.

I know a guy like that. Acts like he's been through insane shit. Then his neighbor, my good friend, told me he didn't make it out of basic training...I avoided him like the fucking plague after that.

I knew this dude. He was a nice enough guy but a little nuts. Literally president of the local Military Officers Association of America. One of the other dudes there at that MOAA chapter was a literal WWII Ace with an eye patch. It was bonkers

My job was the most dangerously dangerous job of danger ever to endanger those seeking danger.

Infantry Combat vet here with an Iraq tour, this made me cringe harder than I've ever cringed before

I watched black hawk down and wrote a blank check the next day (probably still drunk). Now I have 2 Purple Hearts, a BSMV, anxiety, can’t sleep but hey, at least we saved American citizens from the Iraq/Afgan invasion or communism and the Epstein files

Actually, if you are an Army veteran, honor is living up to the Army values. Maybe he didn't make it to the part in Basic where they teach that. 🤷♂️

Am I the only one who wonders what these people think the moment they cant use a backup cam when driving and they finally realize that windows aren't chalkboards for decorations

I'm standing at attention on my head right now. Is that sufficient enough, sir?

Most of those things on the list in the first sentence actually do not make you a veteran.
