Why isn't it greed to want to take someone else's money? (soldier, military)

How is that doing "nothing"?

I agree it is not greedy to make a high salary, because you are paid as per agreement.

Envy, the desire to lay hands on the property of others, even though one did nothing to deserve its acquisition.

Sloth, the attitude of someone reared on the conviction that one can forever get something for nothing.

You just summed up the Democratic Party platform in a nutshell - and their three operating principles.

First being worth a couple of million is not rich second if you wanted to be worth millions why have you not went out and made millions.

Are wounded veterans greedy because they receive tax payer funded services from the VA?

No, because they are receiving earned services from their current or former employer - the Department of Defense.

How is it "greedy" to obtain something specified in an agreed upon contract?

No, that was a benefit when they enlisted.

Of course not. The difference is obvious.

Nope, in fact, our government should pay them more. They earned it.

I vote that anyone who collects welfare should put on a uniform too.

Liberals always run to attack our soldiers. They actually have the nerve to compare them to welfare loads. It's appalling. I would rather pay our soldiers "at least" quadruple than pay for someone who just collects welfare. Liberals think it's more important to keep people on welfare than to pay our soldiers.

Does a red or blue do-rag count?
