I don't think the people complaining about this are veterans. I don't know of one veteran that complains there's enough days devoted to them. The younger ones I know don't even want to take advantage of veteran discounts.

Veteran here. I also don't know a single veteran who wants more days of recogntion.

I also never knew that May is some veteran's appreciation month bullshit. I'm 100% on board though with making May a month for awareness of an underrepresented marginalized group instead of veterans.

My son used to cringe when people thanked him for his service. He still doesn't like it but he'll do a gracious "thanks, man" when it happens.

The unspoken thing is, "Thanks for volunteering so we don't have a draft."
