Why don't veterans like being thanked for their service?
I've often wondered, why do some veterans seem hesitant or even uncomfortable when thanked for their service? Is it because they feel their actions were just part of their duty, or do they worry that the gratitude is misplaced or insufficient? Perhaps it's a sense of humility, or maybe it's because they've seen the true horrors of war and feel that any thanks is overshadowed by the loss and sacrifice they've witnessed. Could it also be that they struggle with the idea of being heroes, when they know that there are so many others who didn't come home? What are your thoughts on this topic?
