I feel like those that fought in ww2 should be respected, but fighting in useless wars to me, doesnt mean that you should get treated any different. When you sign that paper, you know what you are getting into. Its not like people force you to join. I nust wish all tbe hero worship would nust be over already.

You're very welcome.

Huge respect for ALL military personnel both present and past.

As a Brit this is what we celebrated, I think we are all proud to be side by side with the USA

Have a great day

Your screen name is "Down in a Hole". That sounds about right.
^^^That.

It is a day to honor all of our veterans. I usually spend the day thinking of my father and uncles who were all veterans of WWII.

The OP sounds lonely and depressed. Not sure what the history is there that brings out this contempt for veterans but I am sure there is something there. Some people tried to get in and couldn't, others got kicked out, some lost loved ones, etc. and just became sour about anything military.

I have great respect for those that served.

You know, being as you're so worked up over today, and how the perks are so great and all, just drop down to your local recruiter. Make sure you he includes the free travel, personal trainer, and campouts with breakfast in bed. You wouldn't want to miss out now would ya?

My unit hosted and trained with a regiment of Brit tankers at Ft. Carson, Colorado back in 1967. As I recall, we were intoxicated for the entire month of May and part of June...
