Comment on Shamelessly stolen from Reddit
salty_chief@lemmy.world 15 hours agoAt a certain point people just make excuses. First responders receive more discounts than Veterans. Because they are on the front lines everyday. I support that idea.
You are missing a lot of the sacrifices that Veterans make with a generalization. Required to move every 2-4 years. Deploy to various countries for unknown amount of time with less than 24hrs sometimes. Not being able to communicate with loved ones on a regular basis. Not coming back home with all your body parts or your battle buddy. But hey maybe there is a IT person sitting in a AC room in US. So screw all Veterans makes sense I guess?

Cops receive more discounts than veterans. Firefighters/emts get jack shit in comparison.
You can even make the argument, a lot like the military one, that it is more deserved. ‘Paying’ a cop to be at your store temporarily in the form of a discount gets you pretty cheap security.
