I was friends with a military guy who used to hate the whole "thank you for your service" thing. He was like "I work in a fucking office in Dallas".
"Thank you for your service" seems to be what people say when they claim to support servicemen/women and then try to defund the VA, Tricare, and post-service mental care.
