72. Thanks. I just get tired of people telling me what veterans want -
all veterans. It reduces veterans to an anonymous group, rather than the individuals they are. Usually, it's someone who is not even a veteran telling us that.

Nobody speaks for all veterans. They are as diverse a group as any group of people. That's because they come from the entire spectrum of Americans. So, anyone who pretends to speak for veterans is only speaking for him or herself.

It's very annoying to this veteran.
