Today, I saw some servicemen sitting outside a café, and I went over to thank them for their service. They waited till after I was done shaking their hands before they told me they were just actors on their lunch break. FML

It was a very nice thought OP, they probably were trying not to embarrass you

I know! It's really stupid to thank the people who put their lives on the line and get very little in return. Why the hell should we thank them for defending us? Why do they deserve that? The reason you two are going to get thumbs down is because you're clueless ******* morons who don't deserve what those people in uniform are defending. **** you both.

It's no big deal. Props to you for thanking those in the military :)

This just means that you are truly grateful for service members. I respect that. Good for you.

You know OP, it's people like you who made me proud to serve. Every time some one came up to me to shake my hand, or thank me for my service, I teared up a little. So, even though they were actors, thank you for the respect you've shown us.

Thank you for your service. So many people don't appreciate our soldiers.

Why wouldn't you thank actors for their service? They sacrifice for you, too. While servicemen protect your safety, actors protect you from boredom and actually having to speak to your date. Thank you, thespians!

Nah, your life isn't ******. You're a good person for doing something like that :) They may not have been the people you thought they were, but it's the thought that counts!

I agree that service people deserve our respect, but "interrupting someone's lunch" seems like the opposite of that to me. Would anyone actually appreciate that?

#33, My boyfriend just got out of the marines and I can tell you, every time that we were interrupted by someone expressing their gratitude for his service while we were eating a meal he damn sure did appreciate their words of gratitude.

What came to my mind when I read this was that OP confused them for the workers of (NEST) of transformers.
