Yeah, I find the two posters above you very insulting. Candy-asses gotta hate and be jealous of REAL men.

Seems people think of the military only what they see in the left-wing news. They don’t see the majority of service members who stand guard even as I type this. I was SPACECOM/NORAD and served in missile warning and defense systems, among other things. Never got a holiday. Worked 24x7. We weren’t heroes, we just served. No one ever attacked the US so we succeeded.
I reserve memorial day to remember those standing guard, but more importantly, to remember those that served in combat and took the incoming rounds. Some died, some lived, but they are all to be remembered as serving us, We the People.
