Their response to the military - Axolotl’s replay had some decent points. But I was hoping they could apply them to the military in context of the original post.
I believe that the justification is that they have served the military so they have more than paid for those benefits and it’s the least that could do since they have given up years of their life and possibly mental health that will set them back when they exit the military.
I have more than a few friends that served only to find out that if you’re not an officer then rest of the world treats that time as a gap in work history.
Non-combative point. Could you address that point to the military? Per the original post?
I don’t understand the question. Address what point exactly?

The original point is : look at all these good things the government offers to military recruits, to entice them to join.
The same people then decry the government offering those good things to everyone. Then they’re bad things, suddenly.
The military requires desperate people feed their recruitment quotas.
So I would then like to ask.
Are the incentives working? How do recruitment numbers look?
It’s working less and less, the more stupid wars Republicans keep pushing the country into.
