Yeah, but you see, I have this funny kind of morality that says those resources ought to be for the guys and gals who are coming back missing legs or with concussions or you know, things more serious than the paper cuts I used to get filling out DA Form 4697.
So you are criticizing me for NOT sponging off the government? I'm getting a bit confused following your arguments.
You hate Government, you hate socialized medicine, but you think that we should support the Welfare State of Israel so enthusastically and veterans should go to the VA even if they aren't having health problems related to their service.
If you served you are entiltled to those benefits.
Besides being kind of slimy by implying I didn't, I think you hit on the whole problem with a lot of government spending in general
"entitled"? Why should I be entitled to health care benefits for something I did 20 years ago? I mean, if was ever in a war zone, I might have an argument, but fortunately, I wasn't.
That's why we are 16 trillion in debt. Because we stopped calling things "charity" and started calling them "entitlements". So you have desk jockeys going to the VA hospital and old millionaires collecting fat checks from social security because we are "entitled" to them.
I think the VA SHOULD be there to take care of people who suffered adverse health conditions as a result of their service. But if you want to make it a golden ticket for anyone who ever wore a uniform, that's how you spend yourself into a hole, dumbass.
You sure you're not a liberal?
Then you want the government to go back on its word to our Vets. Can't support you there.
