As a Veteran I always say "Thanks for supporting the troops" then I ask them to join (If they are the correct age) and all of them give me a look as if they just drank some lemon juice "OR" just tried to eat a lemon. Why do they scrunch up their faces like that?

first Ty for serving our country! God Bless America and our troops. I think that it should be mandatory for everyone to do three years. Some of the people are afraid , afraid of the war we are in now, I have a nephew over there, and one more on the way in a couple of months. I pray for all their safety. I just think some people don't know how to respond to your question, that is why they look puckered.

not joining the troops is as healthy for you as drinking lemon juice, that's the only thing I can think of.

Maybe they are the kids of those morons spitting on guy's in the 60's and 70's.
Or you really are a mean looking guy and the first response was to avoid your fist.

Thank God for our troops! Thank God for our all volunteer military! Some people are not cut out for the military...and it is ok...it is their right...it takes some special people to be military, to serve and to enjoy their job and feel it in their heart the pride of doing so. God bless our troops!

the thought of what the troops does brings an acidic taste to the mouth

Huh?
You are the same guy that was bragging about beating up a Marine in "high Muslim" neighbor in Michigan... Your words not mine.
What answers are you fishing for exactly?

thats funny...because as a veteran you should know that most of the anti-war people reside outside the armed forces....

Because they are afraid.
(or they just drank lemon juice)

Because even though it's supporting the country, it does involve killing and death and maiming. Not many people I know would smile broadly at that idea. It is a very brutal job, I'm sure you agree.
