I am always amused when someone overcharges for a product and then gives a tiny portion back as any kind of incentive.
I was active duty Army the last three years of Vietnam; I get “uneasy” when people want to thank me for my service - it always seems choreographed and disingenuous. In turn, I do not feel that anyone owes me anything (including appreciation) for my service - very frankly, I did not serve for them. I did it for selfish reasons - the GI bill funded college education. If Cabelas or any company does not want to discount my purchases, then I understand - they and everyone else owe me nothing. However, if the offer is there, I will use it - it is not an emotional thing for me one way or the other. I did my time and the Army kept it’s promise - the rest of the fluffy stuff for my service is artificial at best. I salute all active duty and veterans with quiet respect - they understand that camaraderie. Good shooting.
I live near Fort Benning GA. I never served in the military. I try, at least once a month, to pick up the tab of a soldier if they are with their family in a restaurant when I enter. I don't do it for groups of soldiers...only families. If i did it for groups I would be broke in a couple of months.
The salesman said they also discontinued that for employs.
I went to Cabela's yesterday to use a couple of gift cards.
I mentioned that I had read of the veterans discount on firearms was gone.
