Something different happens in the USA where people grab my hand and thank me for my service to their country. Awkward.

As an American vet, this made me laugh too fucking hard. Not an amputee, but love what you're doing, dude!

Honestly, it's a bit of an overreaction as a result of how vets were treated during and after the Vietnam War in the US. For me it's always a little jarring when the subject of the military comes up, and someone says "thank you for your service," because they have zero idea what I did, for who, what, and why. It's not unwelcome, just... odd to me.
