To me, if a service man is injured, well, it's just like workman's comp. He SHOULD be taken care of.
But if he gets ill, through no fault of the military, why should taxpayers have to pay for it? He should get private insurance and shut up about it.

The government IS the servicemans insurance company while he is in the service. It is responsible for his/her health.

Isn't it interesting that fxashun doesn't want his benefits to change, but his 'benefits' are paid for by the US Government? He doesn't want anyone else to get what he's getting? WTF!?!?!

But I have care through a private doctor. Paid through Humana Military Insurance. And I actually pay extra for some special options for my family. "Anyone else" should join the military like I did.
Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.
