Veterans Day not good for veterans.   

Vietnam vets are the largest population of vets living today, and a lot of them were drafted.

I actually do get where you're coming from with regard to those who define themselves by their military service from long ago.  I never did understand that.  You see it with the vanity plates and the bumper stickers all over their cars.

When I retired I was done with it.  I'll admit though, I'm not complaining about the 10% discount that I get at Home Depot.  It has saved me a lot of money over the years.
