    We’re supposed to feel extra sorry for this… person because they’re a member of the US military?

      Its more playing to your enemy’s weakness as they consider police and military to be god-like heroes, but now even they are being mistreated along with the rest of us.

        The USG has always cheated veterans though. With the exception of WWII vets that mostly got what they were promised. Every other group has been cheated. From WWI vets being crushed with tanks in their tent city protest at the Washington Mall, to vets from Iraq with head wounds from explosives and the like diagnosed with “Personality Disorder,” to make it the Veterans problem and not the problem of the USG.

      We are supposed to support everyone’s rights no matter if someone assassinates their character or not.
