“Thank you for your service and enormous sacrifice” is a psyop. It’s not a sacrifice.  Vets love their job. 
Now my grandfather being blown to bits in France during WW2, well that’s a different story.  But he doesn’t give a shit if you care or not. 
Living vets taking bows at events should be embarrassed for being such hypocrites. nostr:note16hx8fmvff9nzz69yntz7g62ph2n6fputkl232rj5jrkfp725kzvssf9usz
