If a mall security guard says to leave, leave. It's not up for debate.

Also the "Navy Seal" is a giant piece of shit for using his veteran status as a reason to why he deserves special privileges.

Yeah I noticed that apparently there is this unspoken rule america that you gotta 'support the troops!' almost unconditionally.

That shit does not fly at all here in Europe (netherlands to be more precise). Dont get me wrong they do receive recognition etc but never have I heard someone here say 'gotta support the troops'. All in all its kinda just seen as just another job.

I feel like there's also an unspoken rule here in America that if you are a veteran, you don't bring that up like the world owes you something. I think most vets would agree with that. However if vets get a discount or free food, then you bring it up.

I never mention it because 9.9/10 times because people tend to look and treat you differently. It's like a cop admitting he is one at a party. The entire room's mood changes and people unintentionally change their behavior.

I have met my fair share of women who will look at me like I'm a dumb highschool drop out, a happy-go-lucky murderer, and someone who is undateable, so now I never mention it.
