I can understand how you feel. A "thank you" would mean more coming from someone who had also served, but would be unnecessary.
I enlisted in the navy in 1967. I wanted some choice as to what I would be doing and wanted to learn something. I enlisted because I would have been drafted. But I knew it was the right thing to do. I knew that unless we drew the line somewhere we would be taken over by the communists at some point. They were pushing then as they are now. Later I was against the war, but only because we were not committed to a win, we were just half fighting it.

If a person decided to go for 4 years then they would get the benefits veterans get now, two years of service would get benefits only if injured while serving.
