Excluding peacetime veterans from the benefits will inevitably be arbitrary and unfair, cause waste in the form of more complex rules to generate and administer, and probably cause lawsuits and legal costs to defend.

We always have undeclared wars going, plus dangerous conflicts short of war. ( the Cold War confrontations and shootdowns, secret military assistance, submarine and air intelligence ops, etc.)

There are many dangerous military duties which are still dangerous in peacetime. On the other hand during wartime, some safe jobs are as safe as peacetime.

Not every sacrifice is physical or due to enemy action.

For those reasons I would support eliminating the distinction.

Thanks mware. We started out tending towards no on #3 and now after hearing from all of the wise creepers, it's definite.

Thanks TBA. Yeah, reducing distinctions is preferable.

I live in NJ and I’m a Republican. On the marijuana question vote yes. That is unless you feel criminals should continue to profit from it and there should be no way of preventing under age kids to be able to continue to have access to it.

On #2, yes. That’s a real no brainer. On #3 No. It’s rank gerrymandering.

a property tax reduction for peacetime veterans is a little more difficult.

NO IT ISN'T!!

All government compensation should be paid when a service is given. There should be no additional compensation once the service has ended. NO PENSIONS. NO SPECIAL TAX BREAKS. NOTHING!

ML/NJ

#1 regarding marijuana legalization is a no-brainer. It's a no.

You're right - "no" is the brainless choice.
