And if they can't, well, that's not my problem if they were too dumb to avoid getting shot or bombed or did something stupid like lose limbs because they picked up a live grenade (That's what people like Rush said about Max Cleland, after all, and he would know.) Life's tough. They were getting paid while they were serving; that should be enough for them, like it is for the rest of us.

See? Medicare and veteran's benefits. Man, this budget cutting stuff is easy!

I earned the right to receive retirement pay and veteran benefits just like every person who does at least 20 years in the military. I still have to work to make ends meet. If you dont like the fact that I earned it then tough sh t. Because people volunteer for the service there is no need for the draft. Its also not my problem you dont have good health insurance. Its also not my problem if you cant get health insurance. Im guessing you didnt do anytime in the service you how can make up your smart ass remark a person being dumb not to avoid hand grenanade. I guess you think it okay seeing all these soldiers coming home in body bags and soldiers missing limbs. Not my problem if where you work at doesnt have a retirement plan. If your working and dont like the fact that your employer doesnt offer you a retirement plan then do me a favor quit your job. Maybe this country needs to go to the draft. If you dont like my remarks tough sh t.
