Name a word, phrase, or figure of speech that you can’t stand.

This surprises me. (And saddens me too) why does it bother you? Are the speaker’s not sincere? Would you rather not be recognized as a soldier?

Bronwen gets a whle lot of answers in that as to why so many “soldiers” do not like the phrase, and a link to his essay on that from a few weeks ago.

She came in that thread to realise why so many veterans and active duty do not like the phrase and apologised.
