[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s because the taxpayer funds a huge portion of their expenses (housing while on base, no down payment for Va loans, the list goes on). Welfare queens to the max[/quote]

+1. Even one of Reagan's hires (Stockdale, I think his name may be) wrote a book a few years ago describing the US military as socialistic. But if you dare question it, you're labeled a "communist" or worse. DH has several retired military in his family, and when they start bragging about their free health care and whatnot at Thanksgiving, I say "you're welcome."   [/quote]
That’s super obnoxious on your part. We can’t even get appointments at Walter Reed or find a place to park, so I’d tell you quickly to shove it. Trust me, you wouldn’t think military healthcare was such a great deal if you actually had to use it. [/quote]

Wow, yeah. I’m as liberal as they come, but the US military puts their butts on the line for us. Doesn’t matter if it doesn’t happen every day. It could, and they’re taking that risk, along with the many day to day sacrifices. Calling them welfare queens is so offensive. (But I also don’t call anyone a welfare queen.) [/quote]
