I am in the military, and when I first got out of boot camp I couldn't understand why so many people were thanking me randomly. Even people on myspace would randomly message me and comment on my service. Not all is well, however. When I was in training, we could only go off of the instalation in our dress uniform. My first experience with this, a car drove by and they threw an egg at me and dumped a soda on me as they drove by. I got in a lot of trouble for it, and had to pay out the butt for a new uniform.

Now I no longer see the respect shown to us, such as in this article, as "brown nosing". We sacrifice a lot of freedom and happiness in order to allow others to keep them, and offer a peaceful mind to other Americans. I would much prefer a /salute than a /spit.
