“Military does not save lives.”
The military is very reason you have freedom to say such disrespectful and disgusting things. The absolute lack of respect toward those put their own lives in danger to defend your very audacious and ludicrous statements is absolutely atrocious. They don’t save lives? Have you met a combat medic? What about a corpsman?
”Benefit from our tax dollars”
Military personnel are on a fixed income, which is based on rank. Being a lower rank often means living paycheck to paycheck, even after pay incentive for things such as being airborne or duty pay. You want to talk about struggling to make ends meet? The average junior enlisted personnel with dependents makes less that $40k a year. What tax dollars do they benefit from? The average annual automatic pay increase is typically less than 3%, which is barely enough to even make a difference after adjusting for the rising cost of living. Most military personnel, on average, get paid less than a majority entry level medical positions.
What about veterans who spent time fighting overseas? Your asinine comments obviously depict you think the military is only good for fighting wars. So what do you think happens to them when they come home? It’s not all roses once they have to adjust back into society. The number of homeless veterans is atrocious. Do you think they benefit from your tax dollars?
You should be beyond ashamed of how insanely heartless your statements are. People like you are the literal scum of the earth. I hope you never have to experience such tragedies as those who have fought, or lost some one who fought, for your freedom to be so densely ignorant.
