Is it normal 2 be irritated when people thank me for serving?
i went to afghanistan for a year. it was absolutely the worst year of my life. its the family stuff i had no control over and my infant daughter had two open heart surgeries. so when people say "thank you for your service" i wanna tell them what it cost me and what there thanks doesnt really do for me. but i fake a smile and respectfully say "thank you" whats worse is these people are genuinely appreciative of me and i dont wanna hear it. is that normal?
