Always remember to thank veterinarians for their service, it’s fun to see the confusion on their faces

But a boot doesn't cringe at the phrase yet...

He used to be the virtue signaller

Jokes on you, I could care less either way. I was in but I feel I didn't do much to be thanked for.

"Thank you for doing the job that generates profit for corporations that you signed up for and were paid to do"

Thank you for your service and here are your awards and medals. Your family will thank you even more when you die and they hawk your medals at my pawn shop for a few extra bucks of inheritance.

My father in law used to run flea markets on the side. Used to say that in the service he worked hard as hell and never got a medal of honor, but working the flea markets he had a jar full of them. Nobody gives a shit about service.

I mean... Medals are like candy in the military. There's 4 medals that make people pay attention. A purple heart, a silver star, a service cross, and the congressional medal of honor. Most people won't be awarded any of them, and of those who are awarded, they will likely not receive more than one their entire career.

There's like 20 other medals that you'll receive more than once and amount to, "I was on active duty at X time and didn't get in trouble". So a lot of soldiers don't really care about their own medals.

It's only the virtue signalling that annoys me. If you're just trolling me, then it's good for a laugh.

I swept for your freedom.

One of the guys I work with now won't stop sweeping at work it's annoying as all hell. Now every time I see a broom outside of work I have a negative response to it, I might have PTSD. Anyways thanks for your service.
