I've had to address this many times in the past. I am NOT. I am against the current wasteful wars based upon lies with the only purpose to prop up the dollar and wall street.

"we splattered your husband all over the countryside because the markets have to stay inflated".
When will you understand that she was not treated terrible. In fact it has been quite the opposite. Have you seen how much her Go Fund Me has brought in vs the Go Fund Me for the wife whose husband WAS an actual Green Beret who also has kids?

Don't play the violin and the poor me story too much for her.

There have been multiple times I have personally stated we are in places because of terrorist. Because we have a common goal with other countries to defeat them. Train, Advise, Assist. The three words I hate to hear when friends are deployed and the news comes up of someone being KIA.

If you think there are lies, then tell our elected officials and the generals how to do their job. There is always more to the story. More that us civilians don't have the clearance to hear.

You think money replaces her husband? She is being paid well so that should be enough? This tells me a good bit about yourself.

You need to stop demonizing people. She did not imply that at all.

I'm not the one that tried to equate money as a solvent for the unjustified loss of a loved one.

All she said is that the widow wasn't treated badly. That is all she said.

Like I said, you need to stop demonizing people. It takes a lot of courage to be a military wife, maybe you should show some respect because you don't know her.

No, she said, she wasn't treated bad, look at all the money she got.

She doesn't seem to be happy with the answers she has been gave. It is her that is questioning things.

Whatever. You need to stop demonizing people. You don't even know her.

She will get a check every month military compensation pay, until she remarries another man.
Per documents, he was property of the US government... Like it or not. He signed on the dotted line, not her.

Reminds me of a line in a movie. "Calling it your job doesn't make it right".

Where in the constitution does it say we should use force against those who never did anything to us until after we went over there?
