Whoa, wait, slow your roll there Jeff Gordon. I think you went from 0 to retard in record time.

Members of the Armed Forces are paid professionals, and are entitled to compensation for volunteering to lay down their lives in the performance of their duties. There’s a lot more going into it than getting paid (because let’s face it, the pay isn’t great). Also, look at how much we expect of our service men and women, much more than hired thugs, as you imply.

So, yeah, why don’t you close your mouth, I wouldn’t want that pea sized brain of yours to fall out.
