Subreddit Rules
- Be civil and respectful / No hate speech / No Gatekeeping: Be civil and respectful to others. You may not always agree with others, but once you start insulting the other person, you become the problem.
- No Gatekeeping - you don't decide if someone is a "real" veteran or not - nor try to diminish someone's service because they never deployed or held a different job.
