Am I the only one that's noticed in American TV movies and series that military personnel are treated by the public like demi gods or something? I'm curious is that the real case abroad or is it just laid on thick for TV. If American soldiers are treated with so much respect over there, then why is it so different over here?

It's not laid on thick. They really do support their Service personnel and Veterans

Stateside most military (regardless of US or not) are treat really well. Plenty of discounts/free entries, they encourage the wearing of uniform in public and, to a degree, get a better public perception and reception.

We have a few students in my reserve unit who are vilified by their fellow civvy students for being in the army as it's seen as imperialist and "Tory".

When I've been out in public in uniform I've found more people respect the army than don't, but we have had abuse from some when we've let kids sit in our armoured vehicles or stick a helmet on as apparently we're recruiting them to invade poor countries to steal oil

That's a good point actually I guess it's rare to see anyone go about their normal day lives dressed in uniform over here, maybe I watch too much TV movies lol, but it's all people giving military free drinks, meals and thanking for them for their service, I never see that over here, we are definitely two very different places

In the states military service(past or present) is highly respected. Veterans and current service personnel are treated with the respect they deserve. An example is sporting events... it’s normal practice for all military to be asked to stand up whilst they are thanked for their service and the stadium will applaud them.

I'm always pleasantly surprised by how much discount I get in most shops and restaurants with a flash of my MOD 90 though

I wore my corps t shirt when I was on holiday in New Orleans, in a restaurant one evening the owner recognised my corps badge and bought dinner for my friends and I ..... beer included. They have huge respect for veterans over there

Oh they don't get much more support from an official place, it's the public face which support comes from. They are still left to fend for themselves mostly.

And generally it is largely down to states. Middle America is where the largest support and "worship" for military service resides.
