A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Not to derail the thread, but I have met numerous newer officers (in the last 10 years) that like being called Officer or don't mind one way or the other.
The whole story behind the "Agent" thing is actually pretty neat I think. It's just not practical for current policing and communication
True I have also run into newer ones that don't mind as much but I got sternly corrected when I referred to an older agent as an officer. I guess it all depends on your generation.

<shudders> Yep! My mother had a belt (one of those painful thin ones) hanging on the kitchen wall. I swear, no matter where in the house she was, she'd grab that thing and have my backside tanned in a heartbeat when I screwed up!! Then I'd get it from my Dad when he got home...
