Home Depot and Lowes give a nice discount to vets. It paid for the tax + a little extra when I dropped a bunch of cash on a new dishwasher and 3 toilets last year.

aside from a lot of discounts, you sometimes get free things from starbucks and stuff. the biggest reason seems to be respect from strangers. bragging about something you didnt do. basically a huge indicator that someone has the most broken of brains.

I was at Applebees one time and I saw Hulk Hogan there. He was flexing his muscles in front of a frightened waitress and saying things like "I'm Hollywood Hogan and America deserved 9/11" so I stepped in and slapped him in the mouth with my dick and he started crying like a little bitch.

I don't have one, it was about a year ago and I read about it in GBS. It was a standard video, the news article afterwards where it turned out the guy was an actual vet was the funny part.

IIRC it even sounded fake, like he left something that would have proved he was who he said he was at home.

Yes, but only a pro-rata portion based on time lost.

You can top up your valor quota for the year though by wearing your uniform around for no reason while you buy groceries or go to the movies or other inane poo poo.

We're so weird about worshipping soldiers.

I worked mall retail in college and one day two guys in fatigues came clomping up to the register. Without even looking at anything, they asked if we gave a military discount. I kind of chuckled, because I didn't think that was even a thing other places, and said we didn't. They got huffy and demanded to know why not. I told them it was corporate policy and they turned around and left. On the way out my assistant manager, standing beside me, yelled out: "But we thank you for everything you've done for our country! You're a hero!"

I'd see guys like this all the time. They'd come to the mall in their uniforms, which they probably got from the nearby army surplus store, and walk up and down the halls for hours. People would come up and ask to shake their hands. I saw one older lady ask for a hug. I once saw some girls ask to take their picture with them. It's just really loving weird.

That day I asked my assistant manager if she thought it was strange that they'd even be roaming around in uniform. We live in a small town that is nowhere near a military base, and we do not have a major airport or bus depot. She also got huffy and said, "Afterhours, they're clearly back from deployment. They didn't have time to change into regular clothes."

Make sure the whole bar hears you.Then when you're ground beef do a report back here about how you were treated vs the guys who did it to you. Do it for science.
