Yeah those greedy shiftless military folks. Not like they’ve been engaged in two land wars for more than a decade all the while enduring year long multiple deployments away from friends and family or anything. Meanwhile PTSD rates, instances of suicide and homelessness for vets are astronomical. But they’re “sucking the republic dry.” Right. -disgusted sarcasm off-

See post 44 -
I have known too many officer level military who treat it like a business - they calculate the cost/benefit to themselves. They historically are NOT in combat zones and are in it for, imho, their own gain. Retire after 20 years and get lucrative gov contracts. I have personally seen them get hundreds of thousands of dollars per month as a “consultant”. Get real.
