I think we're getting kinda far afield from what I was originally saying.
I don't think Veterans are superior people nor do I suggest that they should be given rights or privileges that are not extended equally to every other American. I don't even think that non-veterans owe Veterans a debt of gratitude or respect, let alone deference or any kind of special perks or compensation.
The point I was originally making is that for me, personally, the way I view things, is that I don't want to hear a bunch of non-veterans talking about how patriotic they are because it rings absolutely hollow - to my ears.
I'm not saying that non-veterans who beat the patriotism drum aren't good people, I'm not even saying that they're unpatriotic.
I'm just saying that when I hear them talking about how patriotic they are it sounds, to me, like the braying of a bunch of jackasses.
That's my only point.
Like it, don't like it. Agree with it, disagree with it.
I don't much care.
I was just adding my opinion to the discussion.
No problem, I'm just doing the same.
