How's this unethical? You aren't fucking anybody over.

If you look in the comments, some people think it's unethical but others don't. It's subjective, i guess.

If it’s abused it will be removed as a perk and military folks won’t be able to use it.

Hence "unethical"!

It’s not that hard to link to Id.me for verification. If a business doesn’t want to be smart about proper verification that’s on them.

Also just Google " coupon code" and try random codes from there

Damn this makes me sad. If this catches on, I’m might to have to stop giving a military discount. I felt it was my duty. I have given military discounts for the last 12 years because the US military under pays those folks that volunteer to give their lives for my freedom to run my business. I run a micro business and that discount can really effect my bottom line. I’m really tired of getting screwed because I tried to do right by the people that protect me.

If you are living in the US, i can assure you, military ain't protecting you from anyone. USA as a whole is not about protecting, but attacking and killing others.

Hence "unethical" tip. You can always ask for proof!
