What is tacky about asking if someone offers a military discount for active duty?

Tacky for 70 year old man to ask because 'nam.
This is some of the dumbest **** I've ever heard. Why would it matter if the veteran was 70 and served in Veitnam. Do you not realize these soldiers, sailors and marines were treated like **** upon returning home? What a dumbass statement to make.
and? What does that have to do with today? I don't think that to be in the spirit of these discounts but to each their own. By the way I used Vietnam only because those that served would be in that 70ish age group.

Why should a 70 year old veteran not be able to ask for a discount for their service? Is it only okay to ask until they're 35? If they served, they are veterans for life and most businesses are happy to offer 10-15% off to honor their service. You probably don't understand unless you have served or had a family member who has served. Go get you're ass shot at and then we can talk.

So is Vietnam no longer worthy of a flag on my father's casket when that day comes? The owner of the company I work for served in Korea, so no flag for him?

Because that was to long ago?
Because the politics of that war don't match you idea of 'Murica, F yeah!?

If you're a vet with a DD214 and a business offers a discount, heck yes take it! Anyone that EVER honorably wore the uniform deserves the benefits that come their way.

Is a discount deserved or owed? No. Our vets are owed what was contractually promised by uncle Sam when they signed. Is the govt screwing that up, YES! I think they are falling very short. However freedom dictates that the civilian side is free to choose how to honor those fine men and women as they see fit.

I found out tonight that Texas Roadhouse gives 20% to veterans on Mondays.

Not sure about all locations, but I wouldn't doubt it.
They open early to do free lunch for vets on Veterans Day.
