(Phony) Veterans’ Day at Golden Corral
Our friends at Grunt Style posted this picture yesterday, and I “shared” it on our Facebook page, but since most of you are sociopaths and don’t do Facebook, here it is for your enjoyment;
So my buddy Brett saw this cool guy at Golden Corral.
Brett went up to him and thanked him for his service as dryly as possible, and then told Delta Ninja SF sniper that Brett wanted a picture with him.
After the pic, Brett said sarcastically that it was such an honor to meet a real life snake-eater.
Hi-speed replied, “Yeah, there are not many of us of left.”
Then Brett spat back, “There sure are on Veterans Day.”

@49, now that was funny. I went last year , but I go to an Applebee’s in a small town, where everyone knows everyone. No posers. I was out of town this year.
One of my workmates said the Golden Corral didn’t check for military ID of any type while most others did. I got a haircut at a Sportsclips and they got a call asking if they required an ID and when the young lady said yes, the person on the other end just hung up. It’s sickening what people will do for a freebie.
@48.
Good call.
He looks like one of those lunchroom monitors I remember from high school.
GT, that, or some public junior high school hall monitor, the one that makes sure students going to the bathroom or library have a hall pass!
@40….I retired out of the 2/12 Cav while we were a stand up Brigade at Ft Bliss.
We went to Famous Dave’s BBQ. They had a small menu of comped/free dinners & entrees for Vets, separate from the main menu. Everywhere you looked, there were signs requiring military ID proof. They didn’t ask, but I showed my blue card anyway. It was nice and quiet, not crowded, everyone enjoying themselves. There were some vets in evidence, mainly older gents like myself, and no obvious posers.
The food was very good, as was the service. And of course I tipped well, for the whole meal, not just the part I paid for.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Famous Dave’s ……… 🙂
Special Forces? Special Services, maybe.
Got a free meal by accident. I had the day off and my wife suggested that we go out for lunch. She suggested Chili’s as it’s close to her work. Met her there and found out they were giving free meals to veterans. I showed my ID but I don’t think they were really checking. I saw several guys wearing Vietnam Veteran t-shirts and hats. I had Margarita Chicken, which was good. Paid for my wife’s meal and left a normal tip based on what the bill would have been if I’d paid for my own meal as well.
Cocksuckers like that are not in short supply, especially on veterans day.
ID? I thought that’s what a boonie hat and a field jacket served as. Theres no way you can get those if you weren’t in the military.,,,
I do not go to the any of the chains or restrants offering free food for Vets. I will watch some parades on TV. My nerves and brain are too on edge. I remember all the fallen. My squadron mates and the Medi-vacs I did not know the name of . The last time I tried one of Vets appercation deals. My Brother and cosins had to pull me away from 2 POSers. I was about to conduct some curbstomping guidance about respect. If I could still drink There would be a empty plate and glass upside down on the table. Now just a turned upside plate. The duty to to our country runs strong in our family. Dad was a Marine in WW II. Dad’s younstest Brother was a Marinre in the Forgotten war. I was in Veitnam. Lance one of my twin Grandsons is in training at San Antonio. Lance’s goal is to be a combat medic. He wanted in the medical flied.When he found out to be a FMF Corpsman he would have to be a squid he joined the Army. Joe
Those things are always full of posers. I stopped going after confronting a wannabee whose medal rack was a mess, he didn’t have Starship Gunner qualifications in his ribbon rack, but the badge on his astronaut’s helmet was Space Shuttle Door Gunner. Like I told the waitress, “I EARNED mine.” Didn’t do anything. Still makes me sick.
Went to Applebees last year. It was nice and I sat at the bar and had a large beer with my free steak and toasted the guys on Eternal Patrol. Couldn’t drink this year as I was working that night, so I just skipped it. Had a late breakfast with my wife and Mother-in-Law instead.
Cocksuckers are never in short supply. They’ve outbred the rest of us.
No shit. I agree.
All that for a meal at Golden Corral? I would not feed my dogs their “food”…
Hey Captain, not only would I remind you that you don’t wear a cover indoors unless you are underarms, but before I address that I want to know as to why your Beret is not properly shaped?
No flash, no DUI ummm I mean CPT bars… what the hell kinda soldier are you?
Fraud Actual
That has to be the WORST beret I’ve ever seen, and is he wearing a maternity ACU shirt? I showed this photo to my other half who used to be British Army and he nearly wet his pants laughing at it. He said “what’s that cow pat* thing on his noggin? That chap looks like a bag of hammered arseholes”
*cow pat = English-ism for cow turd.
I’m sure this hasn’t been mentioned because no one wanted to belabor the obvious, but … when did “SPECIAL FORCES” become its own service branch, meriting its own nametape?
Dude looks like he just got done selling some plasma and is now ready for a night on the town with his earnings, following the free meal to get his strength back.
I agree that the restaurant is in a tight spot. They really can’t afford to take a day of honoring the military and try to vett the vets and ruin it by exposing half the folks that show up as being frauds. Hopefully some actual vets get some of the chow.
Well! You can be a veteran and not have an I.D. card to get a free meal at Golden Corral or maybe get a free bus ride.
The only Veterans that have an I.D card as a civilian is a 100% disabled veteran or a retired military person and a Veteran.
The only other way you can prove you are a Veteran is with your DD-214 that shows your combat experience.
So! there are many legitimate vets out there that can not take advantage of the free meal if a military I.D. is required.
I for one do not go to these events as I’m always thinking some nut/ terrorist that knows all these military veterans are there and decides to make a deadly statement.
Not true, there are more ways than that, for one you can use an ID card from the VA, or even just show them your dog tag. They never ask for any proof where I live, but I wish they did and have suggested it. I talk to phonies damn near every year. It’s hard to even get in there for all the phonies.
