Retired military should be getting a decent pension to go along with his Social security. So, he should be able to get military medical, commissary, and BX privileges.
So, why is he going to a food bank?
Because it’s free. You’d be surprised how many people take stuff simply because it’s “free”, whether they actually need it or not. It’s an entitlement thing.
That is what I was wondering. Why does this man need food hand-outs? Apparently he also has the wherewithal to get himself from Largo to Clearwater for the free food. That said, you would think that someone involved in this episode would have READ THE LABEL before handing it out.
It is a national shame that retired and some families of active duty military require charity to survive. These men and women served or are serving this country with honor and THIS is how we thank them?
Nuts! It’s still too hot to get this hissed off.
I was just thinking the other day - can a retired military person ever lose that retirement pay - for, say, becoming a felon?
I'm neither. Just wondering.
I seriously doubt this man retired from the Air Force. He is probably retired from his civilian job and is an AF veteran, serving a hitch early in his life like many people do.
Depends on when this cat retired, and what rank he held at retirement.
Could be a retired E-5 and he got out in 1980.....or even 1975. Pay was for sh!t back then - half of squat is squat.
But ya, he could also be a O-6 that bailed last year and was scamming the system. I guess if the cat drove off in a $300K motor home, we got his number.
