This man is clearly an idiot. First, as an earlier poster pointed out, National Socialism is not the same as Socialism. The Nazi idiology pulled from both right and left wing politics, but was formed mostly from right-wing, nationalistic groups.
Second, the man riles against Socialism (as if that were actually being proposed in the health care reform debate), yet he proudly mentions his membership, hell his devotion, to the largest government run socialist institution in the United States - the military. What a raging hypocrite.
Get real, dude. No matter what you call it socialism seeks to destroy the freedom of those who would support themselves, and who enjoy the freedom that was supposed to be the right of every American — before the crap-heads in the Democrat party started us on the path to Marxism.
The marine is part of an all volunteer military.
He chose the military as his job.
He's being trained at taxpayer expense and during this training has separate funding for his family.
He gets tax-paid salary, housing allowance, uniform allowance, free health care for him and his family (and I'm sure he's a breeder), free DoDDS schools, commissary and bx privileges, probably 40-60 days off for the year including regular leave and "training" holidays (not including weekends). His appointments don't count towards time off; he has flexible hours. He may or may not be deployed.
And he wants all of these benefits for himself while he holds a grudge against others benefiting form maybe 10% of his benefits.

You dont think he earned all of that? If you dont you should be ashamed of yourself seriously and you dont deserve the freedom our military provides for you.
Dont reply I think it will tick me off more then Barney Franks does

What a well thought through response to my quoted post. You had wonderfully supported and reasoned critiques for each of my points. I'd argue with you further, but
A good percentage of the homeless I see wear those desert storm military jackets Its really disturbing.
I am so sad to hear that.
Well Republicans--what is your solution????
Why is it disturbing? They can be purchased at any Army/Navy Surplus.
They are bought for the warmth if that is the case. Chances are many of them are in fact a Veteran. But I wonder how many you stop and talk to or offer a cup of coffee to learn their story.
