re: #171 lawhawk

People posting on Twitter that it’s somehow wrong to pay soldiers less than fast food workers seem to be under the impression that people want either or.

Members of the US armed services, especially front line troops should be paid more. They should get better health care services after, better after care programs, especially those with physical and mental health injuries. Just because those on the left would like to see the size of the military reduced doesn’t mean that they want to see these folks underpaid. The right generally sees employees and soldiers as disposable assets, and that’s a mindset that has to change.

It also never occurs to these people that returning veterans may work as Walmart associates or in fast food. To them it’s always EITHER/OR.
