Not bad, but I think 15% or 20% would have been better for those risking their lives for you, meh I guess they’d be worried about people profiteering then by selling Apple goods on?
Even those of us that go way back to Vietnam.
Today I learned the entire US military is only working in Afghanistan...

You do realize the internet, the microprocessor and several other technologies that you use to make this misguided statement were derived from military R&D projects? Of course, you didn't.
Good to see they offer discounts for veterans and the active military.
I ordered two phones. I'll decide which one I like better and return the other. This is actually a more palatable price for the XR.
Good grief people, a discount for veterans isn't "pro-war." It is a discount to those who signed up to defend your self-indulgent hipster attitudes. Most soldiers want peace (we don't like being shot at).
If you haven't served, you have no idea how much a veteran has sacrificed for you, even in peacetime.

Exactly. Brave enough to sacrifice their time, energy, blood, sweat, tears, family, and freedom to travel all over the world to fight our enemies, so you can sit in your moms basement, and write stupid crap like that on the internet.
Veterans can mail order from AAFES and NEX tax free so it pays to comparison shop; although the exchanges offer a limited selection of products with small discounts. Maybe Apple will offer the same discount via the exchange so you'd get the doscount and tax free sale.
People from, or trained in, Afghanistan have done a lot of damage to America and killed a lot of people in America.
Hope you don't mean that as discount for "killers", because that would be very disrespectful to us.
There’s always that guy that finds the negative in what could only be construed as a positive.
I see what you did there. And... that's sad.

This is definitely a good thing for US service members.
Even the Education Store (students and teachers) discounts are limited only to Macs and Apple laptops. Education discounts exclude iPhones. I guess Apple hasn't yet figured out that iPhones are commonly used to cheat on midterm exams and SAT tests.

Yeah, not the f’n forum to post your hateful comments.
This is because Apple needs to sell more phones. They don’t care that you will cheat at this point. They want to save face by officially not lowering the price but yet give you the loophole to buy the iPhone at a lower price.
