As a veteran, albeit one who was never under fire, I'm uncomfortable with the modern idea that so many veterans are "victims". When I think of the people I served with there were some hard workers, but there were way more slackers. I'm thinking it's "mostly" these slackers giving us veterans the modern bad reputation as poor victims. That said, I will accept whatever freebie restaurants or hardware stores wish to offer me. My wanton day of gluttony for 2023 is thus concluded.
