A practice utilized by dubious organizations to raise massive amounts of money. Generally, they will use veterans, many times wounded combat veterans, to help raise funds for veteran-focused initiatives that have high social value. Unfortunately it seems, a larger portion of the funding will go to pay organizational salaries, marketing, and other expenses not directly benefiting anyone but the organizers and their business associates. This practice makes it more more difficult to raise funds for the organizations that spend a higher percentage of their monies on actual programs and services that directly benefit veterans in need.
I talked to Sergeant Henderson and he said the organization he had been helping was a front for a vet-trafficking operation. On several weekend fundraising events, he witnessed drunken partying every night and money being spent on expensive hotel rooms and rental vehicles. He said he even overheard one of the inebriated organizational managers bragging about his 6-digit salary.

When your arms are tanned up until where you t-shirt sleeve would start but the rest of your torso is still pale. Named after the phenomenon of agricultural vets sticking there arm up inside animals... Think about it.
I was working outside all summer but couldn't take my shirt off, so I've totally got a vet's tan right now.

Someone who probably likes animals, enjoys their company and wants to protect them from stupidity, and if they don't already seriously dislike humans will learn very swiftly to do so. They have no fear of poo, wee, pus, flying dogs' nuts or serious maulings. They generally avoid aspiring to veterinarianship because they realise that it mainly involves desexing things, killing things, curing things that shouldn't be cured, trying to artificially rectify genetic problems that never would have occured but for man's arrogance, and peddling worm tablets; most of it is for the owner and the pharmaceutical companies, but not the pet. Fifi is old and wants to die now. Stop force-feeding her and sticking I.V.'s in her, you selfish human cunt. You obviously have serious issues with your own mortality. Fuck off and think about it while I go hang in the comparative sanity of the kennel room with the dogs and cats.
The vet nurse trotted obediently but sadly out to the freezer with a giant infected akita uterus, a dead dobermann and a flyblown guinea-pig.

1. Donald Trump's unspecified plan to screen refuges more thoroughly in order to prevent terrorism in the U.S.
2. Republican plan for the 2020 election to weed out potential nominees who have been recorded bragging about sexual assault or who would surely be registered sex offenders if not for expensive lawyers.

Paul Ryan in 2018: "The GOP has implemented an extreme vetting process to prevent a repeat of the 2016 fiasco, and through that process has disqualified R. Kelly for the Republican nomination."

A veteran, usually peacetime service and a desk flyer, who acts as though the fact they served with minorities makes them a expert on racial or gender problems. They often are seen on Facebook starting sentences with “My best friend in the Navy was Hispanic/Black/Asian/Gay/Bi…” They than proceed to lecture everyone with stories that are 95% bull shit about how their supposed friend “opened their eyes.” A Woke Vet differs from a Bro Vet in that Bro Vets use their service to get a “Thank you” from conservatives whereas Woke Vets use their service to score brownie points among left leaning circles.
