Cut U.S military benefit programs

[Yeah right]

Shouldn’t people serve for the sole purpose to fulfill their duty to protect their country. I think we should cut all benifit programs associated with military service. Also, they should cut the pay by half. What do you guys think?

 

[Guardian of the Rain]

Why just the US?

 

[Yeah right]

I want to just focus on the U.S. so we can show the world that conservative fiscal responsible budgeting is the ideal way to go. People who join the military for benefits are just socialists scum bags that deserve to get eradicated like a thr leeches our there. I’m sure middle America will agree with me. Do for self. Take control of your own lifeZ stop big government without sacrificing our military might.

I think you should've thought things through before coming to this conclusion...

It's too many holes in it. Consider this, would there be as many people in the military if there WEREN'T benefits?To me, you'd have to give benefits, in order to get someone to become some kind of government slave.But then, you have people in the military who DON'T get benefits.

Some deserve it, and some others don't. Although, I personally don't care for a lot of people in the military, because they love to allude to others that they've done something significant, just cause they're wearing a uniform, and they have this sense of entitlement.It really shows WHY they joined the selective services...really shows their true agenda. This personal gain syndrome.

But, on the flip side...you can't TAKE AWAY from them. It's like section 8...some need it, some don't. Either way, most of both parties are gonna benefit.

Here's my thing, it should be for those who actually need it, not those self-entitled folk who want someone to take care of them.Life isn't easy, america sells you a FALSE dream, so I say take whatever benefit(legally) you can from this country, cause they're most certainly trying to eat you alive and benefit off of you. They want you to FEEL like you don't deserve anything, if you aren't kissing their asses.

Some people in the military just want attention.Some people, without the military, couldn't become anything, because they don't have what it takes to work from the ground up.

When you get to the nooks and crannies of the situation, there's no other reason to join the military...OTHER than the benefits...and people in the military KNOW THIS. You SOLELY live to serve a country that views you as live cattle, you've set the value of your own life...worthless, to be honest.

And yes, people babble on with the "protect this, protect that"...please, people are mostly in it FOR the benefits, come on now.

I don't see the problem with benefit programs. They need their education. And the pay is alright. On-duty officers are risking their lives. Off-duty officers are not making much, I think.

What they need to do is cut the military budget in halve (which is 700 Billion) and audit the military for abuse, fraud, and waste.

Make it mandatory for everyone to serve in the military then talk about cutting benefits...

Pay is alright if your an officer, yes but honestly a lot of soldiers get paid less or equal to min. wage for a job that may take their life... Also, it would be hard for the gov to audit themselves.

 

[-Punk-]

Stupid, that's the only good thing coming out of the military is the benefits which are earned by being in the MILITARY always at risk no matter where you are and we don't get pay enough like people think we do, in fact we should be getting pay more.

 

[King Richard]

What is wrong with you? People are risking their lives to protect our country and our freedoms!

 

[JStar King]

So basically leave all the soldiers who've lost their limbs and suffer from PTSD high and dry? Really? :|

 

[Yeah right]

It’s just that socialist programs are bad for everyone!!! You can’t be babied all your life!!!

 

[Konno]

Support the military, they and their families should be getting more benefits, more medical and psychological help.

 

[Yeah right]

Did anyone understand the point of this thread?

Cutting the budget in half will help us, the civilians, significantly

 

[Yeah right]

Let’s point this out.
The average person sees no reason to join the military. We are not in any danger.
People join the military to get financial assistance.

Government uses military to flex their political power.

You go along with it because you need the money and benefits.

Do you guys not see anything wrong with this?

Military is the biggest welfare program where you are willing to die to keep it.

Go **** yourself. The duty to protect your country is something you have to willingly accept, not something you're given. People have to sacrifice to actually defend their country, whether it be their time, livelihood, or mental/physical well-being. Meanwhile you have 60% or so of the federal budget going to social security, welfare programs, medicare, etc. which is an overly exacerbated and unnecessary amount to Americans who have essentially fulfilled no sort of duty or obligation in order to receive such benefits outside of simply being American, and the first thing want to target are benefits to people who actually earned their benefits? GO **** YOURSELF.

I'm not debating on what "earned" means. I just think that since military people are so much better, wouldn't they be the ones more likely to give off their benefits, because you know, working in the military is no beneficial in the first place. YOu don't need the extra incentives that just increase our national debt. They learned to be independent, strong, focused, and assertive. They have all the skills necessary to get a job, start a business.

They and their families should not leech from the government after they serve.

 

[kimb]

I just think that since military people are so much better

So you give a **** about national debt? Then why not cut the most abused, costly, and unnecessary government programs? Military benefits isn't using up 60% to 70% of the nations federal budget, but you know what is? Subsidized welfare programs, and social security. The Veterans Affairs budget is only 21% or so of the annual federal budget compared to 60-70 percent; roughly over 2 trillion dollars out of a 3.8 trillion dollar annual budget. And I don't see how the majority of regular civilians that use subsidized programs are doing worse than veterans. PSTD and general mental health issues, physical disabilities, depression, higher suicide rate, homelessness, etc. I don't see how they're doing "so much better"

 

[LoZelda101]

budget definitely needs to be cut but I see no issues with their programs. if anything USMC is lacking.

That’s all on them. If they couldn’t hack it to be a soldier, that’s what they get. The armed forces teaches them to be strong. They should of quit before the government has to carry them. Maybe get another job to save for college.

Guys, I’m being satirical.
