War

Former SEAL credited with shooting Osama bin Laden doesn't have health care.

"Bronstein also catalogs what the Shooter lacks: pension (he left service 36 months short of the necessary 20 years), health care (though he battles arthritis, eye damage, tendonitis, and blown disks), protection for his family (from a retaliatory attack), disability benefits (he's waiting), a healthy marriage (he and his wife have split, under the pressure of a job that took him away as many as 300 days a year), and communication from the Department of Veterans Affairs (computer-generated form letters aside)."

While I have no doubt the government can screw this man and other veterans royally, I'm skeptical. Why would the SEALs allow a disabled man to go on missions? Why did he leave the service 36 months before he would received a life-long pension?

"Bronstein catalogs the absent opportunities, like the $25 million bounty on bin Laden's head that won't go to the team and the movies and books from which it won't benefit; and the single offer from SEAL command that he could drive a beer truck in Milwaukee under a new identity. And while a private security job might be a valid route, "many of these guys, including the Shooter, do not want to carry a gun ever again for professional use," he says."

That sounds like guilt.

Your tax dollars are paying for same sex military couples to live together. War is the ultimate exposition of socialism, the belief that one collective wages war against another. That's absurd enough. but using war as an excuse to steal people's money in order to pay for the co-habitation of homosexuals in order to wage war is even worse.
