On a case by case basis, I can.

But you get too many guys like David French, who were JAGs or serving sloppy joes in a German cafeteria for a couple years, looking forward to dressing up in their uniforms and talking about how they served their country.

Frankly, I don't like non-right-wing people, and the idea that I'm duty-bound to spout "Thank you for your service, sir!" and act nice to Dan Crenshaw because he lost an eye is asinine. Largely the product of a decaying era that has been intentionally hijacked for other purposes.
