We do NOT give the Military anything. We TRADE with the Military.
We offer them food, shelter, weapons, armour, and orders. In exchange we receive their LIVES!
The Military folks gleefully choose the short end of the deal, all for the defense of freedoms they don't enjoy, and for people that they will never know.
They are the rough calloused hands that grasp and stop the sword blade descending for our neck.
We owe THEM, not the other way around.
