    Boss, as a vet, I also don’t have vet plates. In my case, It continues to feel like pulling military benefits when I did the bare minimum as a job when the market was shit. I don’t like pulling veteran’s discounts at restaurants/stores/etc. either.

      That’s fair. To be honest, the thing that sort of put me back on my heels about him was learning about the TBI - that explained his pattern of behavior. However, I can definitely see the point about not wanting the recognition via the license plate, or the reminders of harder times.

      After months of a mostly one-way back and forth, I really just was looking to poke back at him and was grasping at low-hanging fruit in the moment. Kinda glad I saw an alternative option once it opened up.

          Not about earned. If they’re thevkind of boot lickers who want to go down on you for desperate youthful dabbling with imperialism, i would really rather they not have it.

          Tithe the savings to amnesty international or something, if you feel guilty. It’s not about you having. Not that im opposed; you seem fine.
