[QUOTE="nismo270r, post: 408409, member: 1658"] Thanks for sharing this Dutch. I think the “thank you for your service phenomenon” is more prevalent with our recent vets due partly to what Puff Daddy posted up. I know in the recent years watching everything unfold in the middle east, it gets to me...that thought of "What the hell was the point?" When I got back in 2009 it did make me feel a little uncomfortable when people would say, "thank you for your service" even though I understood that it wasn't meant in poor taste and they weren't trying to say, "I understand what you did and what you went through". I also understand why it gets to some vets more than others though. Even among vets, there can be that attitude of, "you have no idea what I've been through" even for someone that literally served right along side you. I know this is an old commercial, but it's still one that hits home for me and carries a powerful message: <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WSx11Kmnmrg" frameborder="0" loading="lazy" allowfullscreen ></iframe> [/QUOTE]
