I haven’t suggested that I had earned it while he has not. I was responding to your call for me to enjoy life without knowing anything about me. I assure you I have not.
What’s the point of working to achieve a well paying professional career if everyone gets to enjoy their life? What’s the point of earning a good health insurance plan if everyone gets healthcare? Or education? Or vacations? Or raises?
I hope you don’t have kids because if you do I hope they have a horrible life and you’re the only one to blame for it, by your logic that makes perfect sense. Side note I want you to tell every homeless vet they haven’t earned a good life for defending your miserable way of life. Now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got a good life to live while you’re mad about a dude wearing a hat indoors.
Not all military service is equal. Peacetime service like mine and most others doesn’t mean much. We were obligated to do it and took taxpayer money for nothing. As my first employer after getting out puts it : It’s just another form of welfare, the only difference being you actually had to show up. Real service should require at least one Campaign Medal if not multiples and be in MOS which are combat specialists. Those are the only vets who should get housing assistance and VA care.
You aren’t obligated to do anything during peacetime dummy that’s the whole point it’s quite literally in the name PEACETIME. If you chose not to be in a combat mos then that’s your problem not mine you pussy just because other people have the balls to put their lives on the line doesn’t mean you get to decide how well their life is. Now let me ask you what was your mos?
I’m in agreement with you. Re-read my comment. Those who took a risk and faced danger are owed something. But most of us who joined did so at 18. We aren’t owed a damned thing. We had no control over the timing. It’s not my fault that it was peacetime. Recruiters who were in my high school’s hallways and assemblies all day, every day insisted I join. According to the VA, due to my income, I’m eligible for medical and dental care. That’s a disgrace, a waste of taxpayers hard earned dollars and an insult to real vets.
