To think that you can sit at a computer and think that all the benefits that a soldier gets is to much is b***s***. let me ask you this tim tom, if you got hurt doing your job wouldn't you get some kind of compensation?? so if a soldier gets his legs blown off you don't think that the government should do all it can to help him out. what a lot of you people don't understand is that as a soldier yea we might have get the benefits we deserve but we loose so much. it must be nice having a 9-5 job knowing that you can sleep with your wife or see your kids everyday but imagine going a year with out them and not knowing if your going to live through the next day. then tell me you don't think a soldier deserves what he gets. i love the fact that there are so many people that can say the military doesn’t deserve what we get.

And why are you guys bashing on the military when they are serving and protecting YOU! Without those brave men and women who knows where we will be. And until you put yourself in their shoes you have no right to bash them because you have no idea what its like. and next time think about what its like to be away from your loved ones. To those who served for this country...i would like to THANK you for your service and heroism. I'm so moved by this topic that I'm writing my speech for one of my classes on this topic. this is for all the people who said military families shouldn’t receive benefits…i come from a military family..and actually my uncle is in the marines and my cousin is in the Army in Afghanistan as we speak. he doesn’t make a lot of money to support his family either and he has to rely on the benefits.

The ahole disagreeing with the benefits is no doubt a liberal (sounds like he is related to obama) and too much of a chicken**** to help defend the country himself. I suppose you have a dangerous job, lol, where you have a chance to lose a limb or worse. Punk, I was special ops in Vietnam, and while I went airborne, raider, and volunteered for all of it, all these soldiers in today's military represent what I did 40 years ago. To all you military brothers and sisters out there, hoorah. To you asshole, you can kiss mine. Boy, is this typical.

But I will say this: I agree, we did sign the line and knew damn well what we were getting into. What we didnt know is that people like you have no idea what it is like to fight for something you love. I have served in cuba, haiti, bosnia, iraq and afghanistan. I did this for the thought that others would appreciate the freedoms we offer. Not for you and your ignorance. I did it for the children that were missing limbs from landmines in the former yugoslavia. The women that suffer from oppression, rape and irrefutable torture. Not you and your rights to be as flamingly homo-sexual or emo or chemically anti-depressed. I have served my country, missed my 2 children being born, my grandson being born, divorced, missed funerals and bent,broke and destroyed my body in the name of the country I so adore. So sir with all due respect you have no right to speak here. USMC GySgt 18.5 years service Sam,

I have better friends that I have served with than anyone could ask for. I have a wife and a son and yes we pinch pennies even with all of our “benefits”. I don't know what you do for work, what I do know is I, at 21 years old have done things in my short life that you will never be able to say you have done. My son and someday my grandkids will be reading about things I personally participated in, in history books. And for the record, I'm an Infantryman not just some dude in a combat zone never seeing any combat. If you want to bash the military so much, please by all means go down, enlist, and spend a little 4 years of your life doing what we do, then you can talk smack. But I can't be mad about you bashing the military, because last I check, It's the ones you think so little of that give you the right to say and do what you want. So I hope you have a good day with everything you take for granted, I am going to spend the next 2 hours with my family saying good-bye before I have to go catch a plane.

Did you factor in the 7-18 months deployment away from family that is not an option, or the fact that we are working 24 hours a day 7 days aweek. If you think it is so good, quit bashing us and sign up. You couldn't hack it if you tried. So let me get this straight, you think we get paid too much, compared to a ciivilain?
