I've never been involved with the military either, but my father served in WWII.
Whatever complaints there might be, rest assured that from what I've seen of the vets housing, discounts, etc. in the U.S. that military personnel seem to receive far more recognition for their service than over here these days.
To any and all military folk reading this: We thank you for helping to preserve our liberty.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Ben Franklin.
