I read it. Don’t accuse me of lying

You are not a nice person so this is not to change your mind

My guess is you haven’t been around whining people on deployment who mumble and groan that their recruiter promised them this, that and the other thing.

That’s all this reads like.

I’ve been taking care of military in the hospital most of my long career. I’m very familiar with TriWest as well as the VA medical system which people in the comments are putting together. They are separate and this article is complaints about TriWest. Not to mention personally

TriWest and any TriCare is going to be hit or miss just like any government program, and it best suits retirees who are also on Medicare A & B and use tricare as supplement

I work for a large corporation. They decreased insurance benefits tremendously last year then this year switched carriers decreasing benefits further. I can tell a similar story to this guy’s. And I would do so without putting down the military for not living up to the promises I pretended they made

People enjoy feeling bad when they hear stories from a sensational news source talking about how the government abuses troops.

I read this as one person having disappointment. There is the insinuation that others are having the same issues and that it is due to the military not coming through as “promised”

In my retired military group, people find the benefits, use them, and work around the disappointments. Stories like these are not that

You're damn right ... "nice" literally means "ignorant" or "foolish". I am neither.
