A lot of other veterans would agree with you. Memorial day is for the ones that didnt make it home. This dumbass mightve been better off following their footsteps if this is his usual level of thoughtfulness.

Some did point that out - about 200 other comments fell all over themselves to thank him and blame "kids these days," though, so it was pretty much the worst. My ex-husband spent a couple decades in the military, and he was suuuper uncomfortable being thanked, so I know that attitude is by no means universal. It's just cringey as hell.
