1. If I would have actually done what I signed up to do, I don't think I'd even want any compensation

I do realize that I was stupid to ever believe this, but I joined the military to actually make the world a better place and to help people. I was a stupid naive kid and I happily lapped all of the propaganda up and truly believed it.

As soon as politicians and people vow to never send the military into a frivolous war or a fight that was built on lies and a war that is actually about either protecting our country or actually making the world a better place, then I feel they can talk about reducing military compensation. I would have been honored to have been a part of such a conflict. However, my war was about none of that.

I hope my comment didn't get under your skin Victor_c3 Dec 2013 #3

I was just pointing out that most military veterans over the last 20 years have had 'their' war. unhappycamper Dec 2013 #4
