  • I will speak ill of the dead, I will speak frankly about the life they lived and if they or their family or their supporters are ashamed of it then that speaks more of their values than me speaking about their misdeeds. I get not focusing on someone’s failings but not remembering someone for their intentional actions is a disservice to their legacy and our future history.

    If they’re ashamed of his legacy then why didn’t he or they try to right his wrongs?


  • I believe that the justification is that they have served the military so they have more than paid for those benefits and it’s the least that could do since they have given up years of their life and possibly mental health that will set them back when they exit the military.

    I have more than a few friends that served only to find out that if you’re not an officer then rest of the world treats that time as a gap in work history.

    The most common argument I get from people is that their hard earned money would be taxed to go to the undeserving.

    I personally don’t mind paying my share of taxes as long as it’s being used responsibly. I am a little upset that the ones with the most wealth don’t pay their fair share.
