Keen eyed observers will note that although the hand made sign says that they are reserving this parking spot for memorial day, in fact it is always reserved for Veterans anyway.

I was MOS 42R. Thank me for my service.

lmao.. i love that. Thank me for my service!

A kid I went to high school with joined the navy and was gone for 4 years. I left the town immediately after high school but he reached out to me to tell me he was back from his adventures on the high seas and went back to our high school in full uniform just to walk around and get his thank yous for his service. He was also quite upset that he didn't get many thank yous but did get a lot of weird looks.

At college there were these people who would wear full uniforms to school (ROTC candidates I think?).

I had a former marine that was in most of my group projects that I'd get lunch with sometimes and even he said people who wear uniforms in public are made fun of by most vets.

Yeah, it's a pretty douchy thing to behold really.

ROTC kids are the biggest fuckin losers and it's really funny that they get shit on at basic of they so much as mention it
