I watched a documentary at a film festival a few years ago about a Vietnam vet, who was there for the premiere and took questions from the audience afterwards. The vet mentioned how much he hated hearing "thank you for your service" all the time. Another Vietnam vet stood up and asked him a question, and the first vet started off his answer with "thank you for your service".

No he's right. We hate it, but shitty people also use it as a litmus test.
