Kind of makes it hard to be a Veteran if you didn't serve.
But then comes you. A licensee with no antenna. In your case
one
has
to
conclude that becoming a Veteran was easier than putting up an
antenna.
Brian P Burke and Leonard H Anderson both epitomize all of
the
things that give other veterans a black eye. I would not want to
be
in
a social setting where their status as veterans was known and
then
announce that I was a vet too. That's one "guilty by
association"
that
I will gladly avoid.

There is no guilt in military service, unless you lie about it.
Like
saying that you have "real military experience" when you don't, or
saying that you have "seven hostile actions" when you have none.
Lennie's use of the sacrifice of life for his own glorification
is
one of the most "intolerable sins" amongst veterans.
Period.
Every veteran has put themselves in the queu for sacrifice. So Jim
asks what difference serving in the military makes? That is the
answer. Apparently he had something more important to do.
Best of Luck.
None needed, but thanks.

Best of Luck.
