I am a US veteran

Nothing makes me cringe harder than someone thanking me for my service

Even though I personally didn't do anything horrible, it's still making me remember one of the worst experiences of my life

It only seems to be a US only thing. I assume it's because the military is such a big thing for the US where other countries just see having a military almost as a chore.

As a nurse who graduated in the middle of COVID (and was working in hospitals leading up to it), A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher was surprisingly healing read.

โ€œYou expect heroes to survive terrible things. If you give them a medal, then you don't ever have to ask why the terrible thing happened in the first place. Or try to fix it.โ€
