I know you got paid to be there, but still. A country without a military, even in times of “peace”, is a scary thing. Especially given the direction the world is heading these days… sure you sat behind a desk but who knows what you may have been needed to do if called upon in a worst case scenario, and so for that I say thank you for your service 🙏

    "Thank you for your service" cringe apart, you are right, militaries are paid for the inherit risk their profession carries, even if unlikely.

    Also, on a little more distopian way, if incentivized, people are more likely to enroll in your military. And I'm guessing these discounts are on the shops, so it's free benefit from the state.
