Taken from his Facebook:
As a military vet who has served two tours in Afghanistan, and I’m still on active duty (though I’m now stationed locally in the US). I don’t expect special treatment from civilians for my service, but I do know that many stores offer discounts to active military personnel so I usually ask cashiers if they offer the discount. Today, I encountered someone really rude when I asked – and it wasn’t the cashier. I had to say something.
Despite what many will tell you, there's still a very vocal portion of society that openly disrespect America's heroes in uniform.
This tale, from an active duty soldier shows the sweet karma that happens when one of these self-loathing Americans insults a hero in front of a Patriot.
The soldier took to Facebook to tell his story:

Me: Do you offer military discount?
Cashier: No sir we don't.
Lady in line behind me: Rude
*Cashier and I stare blankly at her
Lady: All of you think you're entitled because you're in the military deserve special privileges. My God
Me: No ma'am. It's a discount not a privilege. A privilege is being able to go home to your family every night because some people willingly give up their "privileges" so people like you can have them.
Lady:
Me: *Turns to cashier
Sorry if asking for a discount offended YOU.
Man at the back of line: Here's your military discount.
*pays for my meal*
Man's Wife: You deserve it for having to put up with [EXPLITIVE]'s like her.
Honestly? Made my night. Feel free to share!
Share this to let those who belittle our military know that we will NEVER stop supporting our American heroes!
