USAA,
That’s the one that has the commercial where the people explain that they “got theirs” from some family members service.
Theirs being the ability to buy insurance because a relative was in the military.
Talk about welfare entitlement! That commecial pisses me off. They did nothing, but because grandpa or someone else did something they “get their’s”?
By the way, dad was in the Korean conflict, and great uncle was killed in WWI. Where’s my handout?/S
Never thought of it as a “welfare entitlement” but you have an interesting take on it. It is true that I was the service member who served but I opened up accounts for all my children, wife, parents and brother and sister. I just thought it was a great bank and not really look at the service part. You do make a good point though I must agree (especially if USAA is using that commercial which I don’t particularly like). Thanks to all the service members in your family and for your support for all of them and today’s folks as well.
It’s a commercial insurance company, you give them money and they give you insurance. How is that a welfare entitlement/handout? If it upsets you so much just trot on down there and tell ‘em your dad was in Korea and get you some.
I was under the impression that USAA is a private company. Am I incorrect?
USAA was originally only for active duty or retired military officers and their dependents. Their actuaries probably noted that officers were a more heads up lot and simply had better driving records. USAA have a reputation of being a very together outfit that actually pays dividends to its policy holders. I’ve been with them for 40 years and have had a couple of moving violations and fender benders with zero rate increase. I have nothing but good to say about them.
