My brother was a Marine. Never saw combat. He would be in civvies hanging out at home with us and we would decide to go to Chili's or something and he would get dressed in his dress uniform SOLELY to go to some podunk burger joint. Because he knew some fat slob would inevitably come up to him and stroke him off for being a hero.

Like, dude, my brother hasn't been outside North Carolina. He ain't done nothing heroic.

Lol. My wife was a truck driver in the army, only ever deployed in the US. Never fired a rifle in anger. Also hated being in the army. 

Always felt a bit weird when people would come up profusely thanking her for her service.
