It's a valiant and honorable path to choose...and not one I would certainly choose...but it's the idea that Nascar is totally against handouts, while b*tching that his handout didn't increase this year to his satisfaction that is what gets people going. Nobody here will be caught saying that these people don't deserve to be taken care of for their service...quite the opposite, but it's the fact that people like Nascar are so intellectually dishonest about their pension/health care/cost of living increases etc, while bemoaning anyone who gets a f*cking dime from the government is what borders on comical, because it's just a repeated chorus of "hey where is MY handout?!?!?!" against "hey wait, no WAY do YOU get a handout!"
It's pathetic.

When have I said im totally against handouts? Im against people who can work but dont want to look for work. I do thank you for having respect for the miltary its nice to see that someone understands what the military goes through. If a person cant work because of medical conditions they should be taken care of. As I have said many times if you can work but you dont want to look for a job then why should that individual get the handout? How am I getting a handout? Did I not give up 20 years of my life so there is no draft? I earned my benefits of retirement. Just because there are many jealous people at what I have and they dont have I think is funny.
