I find it annoying when vets use their service to get out of stuff, get free stuff, etc. as if we're owed something. It's a privilege to serve and it's voluntary. Act like it.

Dude, how often does this guy get tickets and/or stopped by the police? I've been stopped maybe three times in my life. And I'm black. He sounds like a jackass.

We live in a very generous and trusting society in many respects, thus the flexibility. Use it when you need to, but don't take advantage of it.
