Particularly when I sense that the person sending the message has some political agenda in saying it (which happens a lot).

People thanked me with their tax dollars for 14 years. On some level, I should be thanking them.
As a veteran, I agree with most of this. What I find more annoying is veterans who think they are owed something or should be treated different just because they served. If you want to acknowledge and thank me for serving or get a discount somewhere, fine but I don't expect nor think I'm owed it.
