So let me get this right.

If I see a small group of uniformed service men at a local diner and walk by their table and say "thank you for your service" I am a douche?
What if i pay their bill as I'm leaving?  Super douche?

I might not be a combat vet. But I am .mil and I have many deployments and I have no problem people thanking me for my service. I also have friends and family that are combat vets including ones who have been injured pretty badly and they all appreciate it when people say thank you. so Stop Projecting. and thank your for your service.

I always say thank you in passing when I see uniformed servicemen.

It must suck to have people appreciate what you've done in the service of your country.  People really are jerks to take the time to thank you.  you should tell them to fuck themselves for saying something nice to you.  Fucking jerks.

If people thank me for my Service I say I'm honored to do it. I don't make a big deal out of it. If they go on I break it down for them. They pay their taxes and that pays me. I'm fortunate and I have no problem stating it. I was lucky enough to find something to do for a living that I do well and I enjoy not to sound arrogant but I feel pretty good about that.

I don't advertise and I don't make a big deal out of it. I don't ask for military discounts because I get paid well as a senior NCO and I would rather see those reserved for the lower enlisted I like to see my Soldiers save a few bucks.

If the person is an opinionated  asshole about it I call them out. I'm not afraid of leaving the wire and I am sure as shit not afraid to tell someone to shut their ballwasher.

If you have lost friends or buddies in combat guess what? You get to carry them everyday of your life, you lived through something they didn't get to. You have to go on with the rest of your life and conduct yourself accordingly.

Everyone is different.  Some guys probably like the attention, some are probably humbled by it, some indifferent... then guys like me, who just prefer to be left alone

There is nothing wrong with what you're doing.  If guys like me want to be left alone.. well that's my problem, not yours.  So go right ahead.

I'm a vet; I don't ask for the recognition or the discounts. I did my time and served with pride. That's all the recognition I ever want.

That being said; thanks for your service, OP.

The fact that you took the time to make this thread....

I'd rather someone thank a vet than spit on them. I'm sure the vets that returned home from Vietnam felt the same way you do.

The old timers that wear the ww2 and Vietnam vet hats, I shake their hand and thank them for their service all the fucking time and I Dont mention a damn thing about my time in service. And i will continue to do so. And I will thank the younger vets for their service when I'm older also.
