Honestly, I don’t really care at this point. They signed a contract for a job, just like everyone else. But they get free (not great) healthcare for life, and better mortgage rates than everyone else. In some states veterans get tax breaks. Oh and they get free college afterwards. They can also save up a decent chunk of change since basic expenses are paid when on duty/deployed.
Fucking garbage men do more to benefit my day to day life than any US soldier, and they get fraction of that. We haven’t had a draft since Vietnam. I don’t owe you shit for choosing a job with a lot of rewards and a low retirement age that has a high mortality rate.
Garbage men don’t get parades. They also don’t make 2-5 years of their life the basis of their entire identity, and tell everyone they encounter about it.
