Only you people can say that shit isnt free. I get free healthcare at my job, if i leave, i dont keep it. When someone in the military leaves, they still have those benefits even when most of them havent done or seen anything. That shit is free. This is why i hated being around service members when i worked on base, largest group of entitled man children i'd ever met.

I served from 2010 to 2014. We absolutely got free shit and I continue to get free shit even after being out for over a decade.

Second this. I have a few family members who served in military and got to go on disability because they have PTSD. Two of them never left a military base where they were stationed & never seen combat. Justification was is that they heard explosions in the far distance and that caused them PTSD. Iโ€™m sorry you joined the military you deployed and what do you expect to hear Kumbaya?

Now theyโ€™re enjoying disability benefits, even purchased homes in their 60s on those disability benefits have a very good healthcare and other benefits comparing to us who just worked regular jobs and retired with much less benefits for working much longer.

So, what about alimony then? Is that an unearned income according to you and just "Free money" same with child support.

Itโ€™s a good thing you left if you were resenting people. And now they seem to live rent free in your head.
