Vets Eat Free

So yesterday was Veteran’s Day, meaning many national (or for those reading from abroad, more specifically, American) restaurants offered free meals for military veterans.  I’m a big fan of showing this sort of appreciation for the men and women who serve our country so diligently, given how selfish and cowardly most of the country is (myself included) when it comes to military service.  They are the true heroes that allow idiots like us to post on blogs like these…

However, I wonder if any veterinarians have ever attempted to take advantage of one of these restaurants running a “Vets eat free” campaign for a free meal?  Especially in those restaurants who lack the foresight to have any necessary legal stipulations regarding who exactly is eligible as protection from such people.  If a restaurant is stupid enough to just have up a sign with no disclaimers, I would definitely go there and claim I was a "vet."”

It seems like a sociological experiment is warranted- perhaps next year we’ll sent out a bunch of military veterans (dressed like veterinarians), a bunch of veterinarians (dressed in military fatigues), and a bunch of military veteran veterinarians (dressed however the f they want), and see who gets served (not in the terrible dance movie from 2004 sense), who gets denied, and who gets permanently banned from any of these so-called patriotic restaurants…
