Keen eyed observers will note that although the hand made sign says that they are reserving this parking spot for memorial day, in fact it is always reserved for Veterans anyway.

      All you have to do is look up the MOS number or whatever it’s called for some really boring military job like logistics, public affairs, or some other random bullshit that no-one is going to bother verifying. Stealing valour is easy and everyone should do it for the perks, only dumbasses that actually want the “respect” that comes with being a troop impersonate seals and rangers. Be smart, claim to be the regimental prophylactic supply sergeant or something, and park in whichever veterans spot you want

          lmao… i love that. Thank me for my service!

          A kid I went to high school with joined the navy and was gone for 4 years. I left the town immediately after high school but he reached out to me to tell me he was back from his adventures on the high seas and went back to our high school in full uniform just to walk around and get his thank yous for his service. He was also quite upset that he didn’t get many thank yous but did get a lot of weird looks.

            At college there were these people who would wear full uniforms to school (ROTC candidates I think?).

            I had a former marine that was in most of my group projects that I’d get lunch with sometimes and even he said people who wear uniforms in public are made fun of by most vets.
