I signed up with the recruiter that our government sent to my school looking for people to join the military. I took the ASVAB and aced it. They gave me a signing bonus, rank, choice of duty station, and a cushy job as a tech. Then I got sick under the rules that are in place for service-members. I did nothing dishonest, and I am quite happy winning the kidney lottery. 17 years later, I'm still rather healthy, have been retired since I was 21 with nice healthy disability checks hitting direct deposit every month. Along with so many other benefits, I can't even keep up with them. My favorite quote for those that feel the way you guys do.
I will not let allow you to make me feel guilty for my carefree lifestyle.
I went to college with a lot of haters. Yall ain't the first.
I don't want anyone who hasn't done jack to earn it be able to suck off the taxes that come from my family income. I have presented a plan which I feel is quite fair in another thread. But my wifes working to keep an unemployed drug addict alive so he can do more drugs? Not. |
