I'm Pissed

Most of these men and women don't expect a discount, it is offered to them from the companies in appreciation for their work. When you start running into burning buildings instead of away from them, risk getting shot responding to a domestic call, or are sent overseas to get your ass shot off, maybe you will also receive the appreciation from those companies.

Before I retired I was working for a contractor. Often I had to work with military folks that were sent here for some certain project. They were away from their families and homes. I always took them fishing in the bay or to my cabin on the weekends for a getaway. I not only didn't feel like I had to do this, but I never took a dime from any of them and they certainly never asked and sure didn't expect anything. We always had a great time and I was glad to do it. I was also thankful for their service and for the opportunity to know these people.
There are always the rare few that believe they are entitled to some form of special treatment or discount. To them I say, "Isn't this the business that you chose????"

That is what being an American is all about. The third Amendment prohibits housing of soldiers in peace and war without a new law being passed. You did that just of your good will. Not much of that good will going around these days.

If someone has a problem with an individual abusing that good will, ignore them, and give your attention to the other 99.9% that are there 24/7 so you don't have to be. I"m glad some companies show that good will also, and I wish it was in my power and budget to do more, since I have a good Marine and a good Soldier in my family. Semper FI and HooYa!
