CPO (Join to see) I'd walk away - I don't have anything to prove to anyone about my accomplishments, medals, or awards. My integrity is intact and I won't let some idiot provoke me into rearranging their face. I'm retired and those are part of my family now and will be handed down to my daughters and their family when I'm dead and gone, along with the DD Form 214 that authorizes all of them! End of story!

I had made a NON-MILITARY related comment on a Facebook "Prepper" group. I don't even remember the subject anymore, but some arrogant maggot decided I didn't know anything and had to throw his military service into the discussion (in a VERY disrespectful way), He asked "Where the hell were you when I was in Kandahar?"
I answered "Out of the military for more than 15 years, with too many injuries and way over the age limit."
I didn't say it, but I wanted to ask "Where were you when I was in Honduras?" It really didn't matter, because this asswipe just got more nasty.

Poke them in the eye with my DD214 and give 'em a paper cut with my Blue ID card.

1SG Walter Craig - lol. Great distinction. There were many times when I couldn’t decide whether I was in the Army or incarcerated though. That was at the start of my career; 1971,72,73. We had A lot of soldiers that were only in because the judge gave them an either/or and frequently they chose going into the Army. So I guess, spinning like a politician, it was kind of like incarceration. I guess I use both openings.

I try very, very hard to use both phrases whenever i can always intending to let whoever know, “this ain’t no shit”.

SPC Korey Kilburn - When I enter my hometown AF Reserve base, I'm required to show my retired ID AND driver's license. My husband the retired reserve colonel only has to show his retired ID. When I questioned the double standard, I was told, "We have a lot attempts at 'stolen valor' around here." Sure--there are dozens of retired female majors trying to enter your installation--NOT. Just a way to harass women. You'd think that would've ended 25 years ago, but no.

Walk away. They aren’t worth the trouble, and I don’t have to prove anything to them. Should a situation arise where a real need to know come up I would use my military or VA ID card.
