What difference does it make (to Fox17) that the person fired was a veteran? Veterans are not little gods, and the employee’s prior military service played no part in this news story. To a nation of ignorant sheep, “veterans” are becoming a do-no-wrong special class above other citizens, just as “law enforcement” has already become. This is not a good thing for our republic.
Verizon offers a 10% discount to veterans, I went into their office to take advantage of their generous offer and was told that I'd have to bring in my DD214, no problem, I went home and got it. When I brought it back and showed it, 3 different employees looked at it like they had never seen one, they thanked me for my service and shook my hand. I was a little embarrassed by the extra attention focused on me because I'm a veteran, after all, there are millions of us and my service was nearly a half century ago.
I don't expect special consideration because of my prior military service but when it is offered, such as the discount, I accept.
The first house I ever purchased was backed by the V.A., I paid the loan off and was grateful for the assistance, it was enough for me.
