Since he looked at your chevron and thought private, I'm guessing he was Army. He probably did his tour and got out as soon as he hit stateside. He was probably having a bad day of his own and took it out on you. That can happen at any age but tends to happen more and more as you get older.

I'd say forget about it; he was being a dick (which may or may not be a permanent condition for him) but you have a beautiful family and formal paperwork filed with the state now. Just remember him and try not to BE him in 40 years ...

Old timer shook his fist towards my wife and mimed for her to "get off the F'n phone" as he was walking out of Costco in front of her last week. (She was in her car stopped at the crosswalk for him). She rolled down the window and told the old bastard that she loved him. She got an "uh...wut?" back. Priceless.

Well you just stole my thunder on both counts (That if he called you a "private" he must have been Army and that he was probably having a bad day and that's why he was in court.)

I learned very quickly in the military that the first person you meet after you complete any school, training or deployment is the person who says "Oh, you just got back from [jump school/ranger school/Afghanistan/Iraq] huh? Yeah, I hear it's a lot easier over there than it was in my time.

It's just silly d!ck measuring and one-upmanship.

Congrats on the marriage. You have a beautiful family.

Fuck that guy.... Just a crotchety old man

Well, I am not only OLD but I am a CROCTHETY old bastard but there is no way I would disrespect a fellow veteran especially one in uniform.

I kinda like the term Curmudgeon and I like to think of myself in that group but after reading many definitions due to your post... In none of them did it mention Asshole or being a Dick! I am sure either of those describes that guy a bit better!
Congratulations you have a beautiful Family and thank you for your service!
