I'm getting downvoted for thanking someone for being in the Army. Wtf is wrong with people?

Because we're tired of the military worship. And as a veteran who hated his service because the military is a toxic and bullying workplace, I hate when people thank me for my service. Didn't downvote you, just explaining two possible reasons.

The whole "thank you for your service" thing people do to military members is part of soldier worship, yes. You don't know who they are or what they did. Maybe they're a giant shitbag.
