The Military is one of the MOST respected elements of our government. We have EARNED both the public's TRUST and RESPECT. Wear it proudly!!!!!!!!

It's more of a matter whether the person individually trusts more in the good nature of people or not. There is no rule of thumb. Despite the unpopularity of the "wars" we've been saddled with in recent years, most are happy to ignore the inherent value of Vets as they Tweet, Tinder, or are more concerned with who gets voted off the Chopped Iron Flayed Cupcake War thing. There is no direct connection as there is more intangible things to consider.

going to be a little flippant here - but it depends on if it is a regressive liberal or the rest of Americans. By regressive I mean the small percentage of the left that is just straight up nuts, who also happen to be the loudest voices. They tend to hurl insults and treat me with disdain, while the rest of America tells me thank you.

They honestly don't know what to do with us. Either we are the object of pity as we are all perceived to be irreconcilably broken, or they feel awkward that they feel compelled to say or do something to acknowledge us but don't know what that is. Then there are those on the left thatbtreat us with outright disdain.

I watched for the first time the program Night Shift last night for the first time. The story lines apparently revolve around the characters and their military pasts, while they work in a D.C. Hospital. The CPM, Cliches per minute, count was through the roof. Yikes. We have to get better at telling our stories.

There's many variables to be able to answer that question first is the individual Vet and how they act or react
2nd are we talking about currently or in the past?

And then of course we have where in the country were talking about

Defined those and I could give an opinion

I am a veteran.My wife has helped me through struggles.She gave me some advice one day,she said you sound so mean and your expressions are so scary,she doesn't like it when I order drive through or meet her new friends.So I thought to myself I'm the person who's gonna step in front of the bullet,I'm the person who's gonna rectify a bad situation,I'm the person who's gonna try and stop a bad thing from happening.I been to war and war is hell!So then I thought how selfish of me,how can I change my appearance.I cant.When people look at me they see blood drug through the mud so to speak.When I wear my dress blues they see a warrior and a person they want standing in front of schools,someone that needs to be around when bad things happen.I still have a duty to protect my country,my family,and all of the innocent people around me from a bad situation.
