I am a US veteran
Nothing makes me cringe harder than someone thanking me for my service
Even though I personally didn't do anything horrible, it's still making me remember one of the worst experiences of my life
It only seems to be a US only thing. I assume it's because the military is such a big thing for the US where other countries just see having a military almost as a chore.
As a nurse who graduated in the middle of COVID (and was working in hospitals leading up to it), A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher was surprisingly healing read.
gotta thank something, can't just let a stranger go about their day in peace
Thank you.
