I get this pretty much everywhere I go, gas stations, bakerys, Dr's offices it never ends. Mabey not a full out laughing but surprised looks, goofy snickers, trying to guess my words, oh I though you forgot your name....all this mite as well be pointing and laughing, pretty much the same effect. But anyhow I wouldn't think a military man would allow this to make him cry, just grit your teeth and continue forward, understanding alot of people are idiots and most couldn't walk a day in your shoes. Head up kid.
