The bitch is a military retiree. She has another source of inome so she can afoord to be a “I got mine fuck’em,”
As I like to point out to my heavily Republican and libertarian military brethren, the DoD’s system is very paternalistic and all paid for or heavily subsidized by the taxpayer. (E.g. Commissaries, exchanges (the exchanges are self-supporting, but don’t lease their locations aboard military installations, child-care; defined benefit retirement without participant contribution, 30 accrued vacation day per year, free medical and dental, allowances for housing and subsistence–in addition to base salaries.) Yet they don’t possess a negative view of big daddyism, But they have problems with others to getting living wages and good benefits.
(The good deal military retirement , like the defined benefit pension, has gone the way of the dinosaur.)
Military service is important, only that labor should be values. Apart from combat, some of the work is inherently dangerous. But those specialties aren’t necessarily more dangerous than other occupations. And in general, the services don’t skimp on safety. I’ve been deeply and repeatedly inculcated in ORM, CRM and all aspects of the safety culture.
In a organization in which its members are sworn to risk or sacrifice their lives, avoidance of the accidents and mishaps and the cost in lives, medical treatment and equipment is extremely important.
