But I'm not pointing it out 2-3 times a day. I've mentioned it 291 times in 12 years.

Well, I've saved someone's life, I graduated college (although I dropped out of high school), I would like to think I am a great parent, and I am heavily involved in a charity that I can't even mention here.

Well, what have you done that you are proud of?

Thats probably why he never spoke of his service. Because thats what it is.. "service"... not "bragging rights", not "something to rub peoples face in", not "a cause to demand respect and belittle others". It's not an identity. It didn't define him. It wasn't where his growth ended as a person... it was simply part of his journey.

When someone posts a video and I reply "I remember one time when I was in the Marines" that's not me bragging about in the Marines, it's telling a story from when I was younger. It's exactly the same as when I say "When I worked at the phone company" or when I say "when I worked in fast food".
Here's a perfect example:

That's not bragging. That's me telling a story about when I was a young pup in the service.
You seem to obsessed.
