The only people I know now are my son's friends who again were totally screwed up kids......one is now on total military disability, but he was off before he joined, and the other is a great kid who just cannot find his niche in life....he had ok grades, he played in my son's band, he just did not know what he wanted to do with his life, and did a tour in afghanastan.......he was smart enough to know it was a waste of the Country's time and his time.  He got married since he got back, and then divorced, and he is 32 years old going to school and still the same kid who just does not know what he wants to do with his life......his friends and my son have all married, had kids, and are building careers......again.....a great kid, but totally lost.  So military service just does not impress me.   However, when you talk about the greatest generation and those guys who you had to pry information about they service, they remain dear to my heart.....the citizen soldier who sacrificed so much, and did not say a word about their service......so it makes it tough to listen to your self congratulation.....nobody cares.

I think a few WWII vets still living, Korean War vets, Vietnam War vets, and Persian Gulf War vets would beg to differ with any GWOT vets who think they themselves are more special and rate more than other vets.

The GWOT vets were spoiled lavishly by Congress and always welcomed home with yellow ribbons. The Vietnam vets got none of that and were spat on when they returned home--they also saw much harsher combat and lost 58,000 of their brothers in arms.
