If it’s abused it will be removed as a perk and military folks won’t be able to use it.

Damn this makes me sad. If this catches on, I’m might to have to stop giving a military discount. I felt it was my duty. I have given military discounts for the last 12 years because the US military under pays those folks that volunteer to give their lives for my freedom to run my business. I run a micro business and that discount can really effect my bottom line. I’m really tired of getting screwed because I tried to do right by the people that protect me.

If you are living in the US, i can assure you, military ain't protecting you from anyone. USA as a whole is not about protecting, but attacking and killing others.

Hence "unethical" tip. You can always ask for proof!

this is called stolen valor and is overwhelmingly seen as a jerk move

I'm in the military and I give everyone permission to use the code lol

Hardly. Stolen valor is when you impersonate a vet for clout.

You're putting in a code in a checkout menu that you and you alone will see, to get a discount.
