As a veteran I don’t want a free meal. I want free and honest elections in my country.
I,personally,would *like* the former but I *demand* the latter.

I want people who say thank you for your service to just keep it and say “I walked out of the stadium/Arena at the game when a player showed outward disrespect for the Flag
Best post of the year.

After what our country just went through I totally agree. They can take their damn free meals and give them to “undocumented” immigrants or bushy bunned momma’s basement boys for all I care. I’m proud of my service but not of the USA. Sorry, not this year.

Oh, yeah - and with 10+ years service a Law Enforcement chaplain a suggestion: Knock off the “Thank you for your service” stuff. You have no idea what these young kids had to go through - I do. Much better to say “Welcome home”.
While I appreciate the thought behind the gesture, I will not avail myself of it.
I do not believe I deserve special treatment because of my time in the military or my time in law enforcement.
Any veteran would want the free & honest elections, but we’ll probably have to put up a fight for that one. Might better take the free meal first & maybe build up the strength for the election fight. Does anyone know if Perkins is included in the free meal list? We don’t have any of those listed in our town except Chili’s & one bad experience there was enough.
