To whom it may concern (obviously none of you…),
The plan to force the military to pay more for health care is no surprise. It is no surprise because you pay nothing for health care. It is no surprise because you believe we are not educated and we cling to our faith and our guns, which, unlike you, have not let us down. It is no surprise because you believe you know better than your lowly constituents/serfs/proletariat, your choice. It is no surprise because we have served our country quietly, and you think we have no voice, unlike the “occupiers” who are heralded as democracy in action.
We have paid for our health care with our service to the country. We have paid for our health care with our months and years away from home. Wwe have paid for our health care with our blood, our limbs, and for many, with our lives. Your efforts to reduce cost by giving it to those who have served and continue to serve go beyond the pale. You have no shame. You have no conscience. You have no god but the holy entitlement receiver who will get you back sucking on the teat of those who still pay taxes.
I recommend you look inward. You ask us to do much. We ask little in return. When will you require the rest of the citizens, including yourselves, to provide for those who protect this great nation? If history is any indication, you will weasel your way out of it as you always have in the past.
