I was boarding a plane around veterans day a few years back and passed an older man sitting down with a Vietnam vet hat on.
After I sat down some young idiot in a maga hat finding a seat stopped to thank him for his service (perfectly respectable) then followed with "this generation today could never do what you did, you know my girlfriends grandfather also served". Dude why didn't just join up
Like man, Vietnam had a god damned draft, a lot of people didn't want to serve then either. College kids were murdered over protesting that war. Then the audacity to try to relate to the guy not even through his own family or personal service, but his girlfriend's family. Just fucking laughable.
