Yeah, people like that make me pretty angry. Don’t get me wrong, I love the nice little extras you get for time downrange (Family separation, tax free, hostile fire pay). But honestly, I would happily go downrange for free. The only people that will be hurt by this are freeloaders, who in my opinion are a disgrace to the uniform. General Washington and his boys marched on bloody feet to get to Valley Forge. Someone who complains because they only got $7.50 instead of $225 EXTRA while only in theater for 1 day can come complain to me and my trusty Tomahawk.
