On 1/21/2015, at approximately 10:10am, I borrowed the following from Colonel Jessup and edited it to fit the bill. My apologies and credit to Aaron Sorkin (Writer - A Few Good Men):
Mr. Moore, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men and women with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? Our Military veterans have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom.
You curse the Military. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what those who serve and have served know. The veterans existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties in Hollywood, you want them on that wall, you need them on that wall.
Veterans use words like honor, code, loyalty. They use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punchline.
Veteran's should not have to explain themselves to a Hollywood elite who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom they provide, and then questions the manner in which they provide it. Many would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way. Otherwise, perhaps you should pick up a weapon, and stand a post.
Either way, many people don't give a damn what you think.
