The responses below answer a lot.  Plus, I get each branch member has their “team spirit” and jokes about the other branches.  But to take it to this level is asinine.  If you didn’t serve, shut the [BLEEP] up about a man in uniform.  I never served.  A few members of my family did, as well as many of you and your families.  I don’t care what branch or what your job was.  You signed up or enlisted.  Much thanks should be given.  Not getting harassed at a restaurant or store.  My dad served in the Air Force in Vietnam and my brother is making a very nice career in the army.  But I bought a pop tart, energy drink and other miscellaneous items for the man in the Navy that was behind me in line at the local gas station.  He said no at first, but I pulled a “no, get your [BLEEP] up here, move” surprisingly, he took an order.  I was prepared if he refused.  I was going to put cash down at the register to cover his stuff and let him either keep the change or let it be applied to the next in line. I know he could have bought it himself.  But in today’s world, the racial barrier and the military and LE getting a bad wrap, I felt I needed to.

Edit, I’m dumb, the responses are now apparently above the anticipated location.  Don’t ask me to do any critical thinking.
