Here's why I don't thank veterans for their service.
1. They get paid. And they get free living, food, clothes, training, and a guaranteed job. All they had to do was be healthy, no serious crimes documented, and a high school diploma GED. Easiest job in the world to get.
2. I believe in compulsory military service. My father is from a country that had compulsory service for all able-bodied men. He had to serve. So should all Americans. No thank you's needed.
3. Once you graduate high school, you have three general choices: College, military, work. Very few people get good jobs right out of high school, mostly flipping burgers or retail. Those who are smart and/or worked hard in high school go onto college. Those who were too stupid/lazy to get into college and too proud to work at McDonald's or Target, go to the military to get a guaranteed job as noted above.
4. Veteran's benefits are good. Don't give me any BS sob story about VA health care. They get free college, great insurance, guaranteed home loans, you name it. All someone would have to do is be a cook in the army to get that.
5. Since the draft ended, military service is voluntary. Not since the draft has the US fought a righteous war, hell even Korea and Vietnam were worthless wars. The people who sign up know the risks, it is their choice.
So no, I will not thank any current or former volunteer military member for their service. If anything, they should be thanking the taxpayers (and the military industrial complex) to paying their salary, feeding them, and giving them illustrious post-service benefits for being too stupid/lazy to go to college or too proud to get a real job.
