He's wearing the green/white tie-dye jacket with no pins/medals, slacks. And new balance shoes and he's asking about a discount.

Aren't you not supposed to wear the top without the bottom and boots? Or am I mistaken?

The range of actual experiences of people who are considered military veterans is so vast that a blanket admiration of them is silly.

I work alongside military members who will never be harms way at any point in their career. How are they different from this dude who you maybe think is maybe pretending to be a military member for a discount?

Has he stolen it from you personally? Or, are you just getting worked up to get worked up

Where does your hatred for military members come from? Probably not the topic for you.

It's not your problem. It doesn't affect you.

Nah he's right. Why isn't there an EMS discount or a fireman's discount. Hell why isn't there a garbage man discount

Back in the day I didn't give a fuck about who you were. If I liked you I hit that button cause stores don't actually give a shit about this

Is this not normal? In NYC EMS, firefighters and sometimes doctors and nurses depending get discounts. But normally wherever police and military get discounts so do FDNY EMS and FDNY proper.

You're accusing the guy of committing a felony because of what jacket he is wearing.

Wearing the uniform wrong

No it's not but I'd give it to people anyway just because

Also it's only a felony if they claim to be an actual award recipient IE Medal of Honor etc

If he's not active duty then he can desecrate his uniform all he wants tbh.

I've never known a vet that did that

And if he hated it he probably wouldn't try using it for discounts
