Yea i'm in VA and all i ever see is AF and Army dudes in uni all day every day. I'm Navy and u hardly ever see us out in em unless it's to/from work.

In Basic and A-Schools you're forced to wear em while your still new, but I never understood the dudes in Kroger at 8pm sunday night in uniform

So by extension police officers should get discounts too. Or maybe all dangerous jobs.

No other profession, regardless of how much it benefits national interests (and how beneficial members of the military are to national interests right now is debatable) gets discounts. Teachers, doctors, street sweepers, college professors, nurses, EMT workers, hell social workers all provide more of a public benefit than members of the military do right now. Why wouldn't we give them discounts instead?

Seriously, what is a reason we give military discounts besides flag-waving?

I know it's one of those conventional things that everybody has and asking makes me sound like a dikk but I've still never heard a reasonable answer as to why we have them.

why do kids get discounts... or old people... or AAA members... for incentive for you to shop there. any city with a base will tell you, that base and its members ARE the whole economy there. so what are you gonna do to bring in all those members?? give away shyt for less.

i'm ex military.. i can tell you that a 30% discount had us picking denny's every day instead of mcdonalds.. i can tell you that every single place you go, and get arrested at :shaq: , will show you breaks the moment you pull out that military ID.

i mean really if there was no military, there wouldn't be no damn store in the first place to ask about a discount.. i think it's a fair trade
