Lasher, calling you what you are, in fact, is certainly not mean name calling. It is defining you appropriately.
The vets stood up for you, but you won't stand up for the vets.
Not only is that lack of gratitude, your belief is unworthy of any person who loves this country.
Shame on you.
Would standing up for the vets who willingly signed up for dangerous duty also include furnishing each one with a new automobile, a fishing boat, a small aircraft for their weekend pleasure? Shall we guarantee every vertebrate who was in the service a grand existence with no cares or worries at all? Those people did a job, that's all, and they volunteered. It is the duty of everyone who is American to do all he or she can do to protect his country, and not do it for the rewards he or she might receive after that duty is done.
They did job that you would not. For protecting their country they get benefits you do not. That is the way it is. Thank heavens you do not make the rules but only whine about them.
It takes a small mind, such as yours, to use ridicule words like "whine" to try and prove some point, old sport.
Just where do those benefits stop? You didn't answer my question about the autos, boats and planes. Why should anyone be provided for, ad infinitum, simply for defending his country? Do you imagine the soldiers who froze at Valley Forge expected to be provided with free medical, clothing, housing, food, etc. after they returned back to their families?
No, they were rugged individuals who provided for themselves and were glad to do it. They were the stock of which America is sadly lacking today. Today's people are so used to having everything given to them by the Government, they whine (I can use it too) when they aren't provided for by Big Brother Government. Soak the rich!!
