So Matt Damon Thinks He's A Military Vet...

Did he ever say he was in the military, or did he just say he's glad he married a civilian? Anyone could say that, and not have Ben in the military. Seems like a bit of a jump to me.

Was a night shift trauma nurse for 40 years. we called everybody outside medical trauma centers civilians decades ago. It's just a figure of speech.

BTW, you should hear what restaurant servers call the public!

Indulge us, what do they call us?

Ironic that they see themselves separate. They are a part of the public, not like they have a "server" written on their forehead.
