Military personell get more benefits and welfare and entitlements than anyone else in the country. And in a time when we are cutting back everywhere else, giving them billions more in handouts is just plain silly
Silly as you may find that, ...can you think of a more deserving bunch?The greatest gift we could give to vets besides living together respectfully and doing everything we can to STOP war is to honour the Veterans agreement and provide for ALL their and their family's needs.
Wow, when I think you can't be a bigger douche you go and say this, bravo oh large headed one. Let's criticize the guys with PTSD or missing a limb for getting a handout. If their is one person on this board who needs to go in the service and have his brain reset it's you oh Magnus of cranium.
well, if there was some kind of contractual agreement in which the veterans were promised something, then by all means we need to honor that agreement. I can understand your sentiment. The guys deserve what they were promised - good healthcare, help paying for college, low interest rate home loans, etc. If you think that I was in some way arguing that injured veterans dont deserve to be taken care of, then you misunderstood me. Maybe I should have been more clear - making sure military personell get a decent paycheck and get all the healthcare services they need to repair any injury's they recieved during their service should be a top priority for the government. Afterall, national defense is the most basic function of the government, and that defense rests on the backs of the soldiers who are willing to go fight when war is necessary to preserve freedom. All that being said, when we are running a yearly trillion dollar deficit and having to cut back on police, fire, teachers, and other vital personell, adding on additional benefits for veterans is not only fiscally unwise but just plain unnecessary.
Hey flaming fagot we got rocketed for an hour and ahalf today and I spent 2 in bunker with 10 other dudes...when was the last time you did that. You fucking libs and your bullshit...4 full deployments...plus 3 trips in and out of Iraq...one 10 month trip to Bosnia.....I must have missed you there. Handouts my ass.
Why do you vote repub if this is what you feel?(I fully agree with your post i just find it weird considering your previous posting history)
Because he's in the military, ...and has temporarily lost the ability to think for himself.Republicans have a history of increasing military spending, and starting wars. All he knows is under Republicans his field has full employment, and they get lots of shiny new toys.
It's the life you chose. You assumed the risk when you took the job. Nobody is to blame for you being in your situation but you. You're in the army, it shouldn't surprise you that you might have to do some actual fighting. After all, its what you were trained to do. I say this as an Army vet.
FOUR MORE YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If we weren't brainwashed into believing we pay high taxes in this country when the reality is that we are presently being taxed as a collective body at historically low rates than perhaps we would have a progressive tax code and all the services we enjoy would be plentiful and not in doubt. For example, Teachers, Firemen, Police and Military.
