Why has everyone ignored the Republican PArty's continous attemp to shove socialism down our throats?

Seriously has anyone looked at the military? Almost any ******* can sign up and instantly get healthcare, a government check and housing all on our dole! And for what? To screw around in some random overseas territory no one in this country cares about?

Yet the Republicans always try to brainwash the crowd by saying "Support our troops!" Bahhh! They are only looking to destroy Armerica with their MILITARY SOCIALISM! I mean seriously did you know how long the military has gained so much social benefits? It has been FOREVER! They are destorying our freedom!

I mean seriously, why should I pay for EVERYONE'S protection? This is a free country and I can protect myself and so should everyone else. If you are supporting this organized socialistic system all I have to say to you is to protect your damn self and stop feeding random people your tax dollars!

Well, it's a matter subject to debate as to what extent the U. S. military is setup to embrace the principles of socialism. For one thing, people living in socialism don't expect their government to ship them off some where to be in harm's way. And not everyone in the military is equal in rank as they are supposed to be under socialism.

you cant stand "republican socialism", but apparently what the democrats are doing is fine? as for the military, it is NOT a democracy in any way, shape, or form, and it NEVER has been. as for the benefits the military personal get, those have been put in place by BOTH sides of the isle, so dont just blame republicans alone.

That's not socialism, it's fascism. The GOP/tea party are hell bent on turning this nation into a military industrialized corporatist/fascist reign.

1) It wasn't that long ago that NCO's families were on food stamps and I'm sure there are still some similarly situated now. You don't sign up to get rich quick, so stop making a bed of nails seem like a hammock.
B) 'Any ******* can sign up...'? I sincerely doubt that they'd take you. Not with your obvious disrespect.

You're kidding me right?

I talked with two Marines, both of them drive CADILLACS! We pay for these guys to drive cadillacs and fart around in some overseas base in Asia. Largest waste of tax payer money ever.

Also I know almost everyone at University who drops out gets accepted by the Air Force, if not them, probably the Army. Its no wonder they spend so much time recruiting on campus.

"Hey kids, dont bother getting an education, Uncle Sam will take care of you if you sign your life away to screw around on some bases in Germany or Japan."

At first I thought it was a dead rat, Swagger, but methinks you're right.
