And that's my point. I respect people who served their country as long as they are respectable. However, many of these veterans believe that their service which is usually 2, to 4 years, are entitled to lifetime medical benefits, while howling about Congressional members, and in this case, teachers getting the same thing.
Your brother was involved in actual combat, but only 1 out of every 10 military personnel are.
Why, after decades have past that 2 to 4 year service, do they come back claiming that early snap shot in their lives is causing physical ailments.
As far as the "if you ain't a vet, you ain't served" that some, and one in particular here continually bellers, I'm more than confident that I have seen far and away more action than he has ever seen, so his protesting and wailing mean nuthin to me.
About 7% of the population of the United States has military service. MOST did 4 years or less, and 90% of those never saw action.
I have 3 sons that served. 1 saw combat.
I have 3 uncles. 2 saw combat.
I have 3 cousins. 1 saw combat.
As I said. I respect military vets even when they never saw combat, that act respectable, but they are not more special to me than police, and firefighters, that spend decades serving their country, that draw a pension they paid into, and medical insurance they paid for out of their salary, and paid their own deductibles.
We spend our lives after service, paying our own bills, medical, and otherwise.
