Seven years Navy Reserve retired as a Lieutenant Commander. No naval action in the 90s of course. Directly participated in three hazardous at sea rescues and two body retrieval missions.
I am in no way undermining your service history but simply CAN NOT STAND a feeling of entitlement because of it. We choose to serve and if the public wishes to show appreciation for that then wonderful. I do not expect nor demand special treatment though.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE SIR!!!
I was in an IED blast myself and my back and lower disks are done. I ask for free parking because vets like myself benefit from it
I dont feel entitlement for anything besides free parking...
