People can be so sensitive

According to people here, if you don't grovel at the feet of soldiers you don't deserve freedom and are a terrorist. Like come on, they're normal people not gods

I think the U.S military is over-glorified
Every military is over-glorified.
You should hear the media here, as far as they're concerned everyone who joins the armed forces is by default a hero.
It pisses me off every time I see/hear it.
Exactly!!
The same thing is with cops too! Just because you're "serving your country" doesn't necessarily mean you are a good person.
For all the government knows some people could just be serial killers looking for a way to get away with murder. Not everyone who joins the armed forces or police is necessarily a good person with the best intent, but they're all portrayed as heroes and saviours when in reality they're just:
A.) Normal people that are just braver than most, but being brave doesn't make you a hero
B.) All the same no matter where you go. Cops and armies all serve the government now, no matter where you live
C.) Corrupt people looking for power
Just look at Grelod the kind. An old lady who owns an orphanage. She should be sweet and caring, right?
WRONG.
Your job does not define your personality
