My Pleasure
I was offered the opportunity to say "Thank you" to a guy sporting a WWII hat yesterday and took it. Through Providence, we were in the parking lot of the Old Navy in Ellicott City, MD together.
"My pleasure! Well, not at the time but...."
"Thanks anyhow."
The man did his duty, not what he felt like doing. Doing his duty made him a better man - not a perfect man, but a better man.
He got in the passenger side of a clean white car with "Support the Troops" magnetic ribbons on it, and his wife drove away. I wonder how long they've been married.

Yeah, that really worked for all those Nazis who did their duty, huh?
Don't Support the Troops
(jk)
Nazi "duty" was evil work. There is no equivalence between Nazis and American soldiers.
