There are several people here who, it would seem, have no problem with this. They seem to think that the military and veterans should take the hit rather than welfare mooches, crony capitalists, foreign aid or just about anything else.

I have seen the same posters here at FR. They are the ones who hate anyone else, but have plenty of love for themselves. They believe they are the only ones in America who pay taxes. They give a ludicrous, false moral equivalence to the overweight Dept of Education do-nothing employee as they do to the military member lying in a hospital bed recovering from injuries (i.e. they are both taking their tax dollars). Fact don't matter to them - only that they feel self righteous over others. Then never apologize, even when they have stepped over the line and are clearly in the wrong. Someone else’s military service will never really count in their minds, because they feel that the government is taxing them (or their own employment situation is not the greatest), so in fear and angst they lash out.

Ha, you think that’s low, you ought to see what widows (and children) get as retirement.
