Meanwhile, those who spend their time soapboxing about how much they appreciate the military, especially as they have sent them to serve somewhere overseas in combat, somehow (despite an approval rating that would get anybody in the private sector fired) manage to qualify for raises, perfect healthcare, and a multitude of other benefits at the expense of the taxpayer, which includes the money taken from each check of these guys who don't earn much above poverty level wages with combat pay. I personally find it rather disgusting, that every "fix" they provide wastes more money and often ends up being regressive in nature.
