5. Too many, even on DU, fail to comprehend that the military does what WE SEND THEM TO DO.
Through those WE ELECT and with the taxes WE PAY, those in the military subordinate themselves to the will of the People. To then blame them for that service is consistent with complaining to a waiter for bringing the food we order. Fucking insane. We pay veterans' benefits like we tip 10%. What is it about "service" that people don't comprehend? How can people claim it's "involuntary servitude" on the one hand and then blame the (alleged) slaves for such servitude??? Hypocritical horse shit.
