I am a union member not by choice. I have to be in the union in order to have a job. if i quit the private union, i am let go. condition of the contract.
And that right there is a huge, huge reason why unions should be abolished.
Except the military cannot quit.
The military cannot speak out.
The military cannot walk off the job.
The military cannot request a pay raise.
Shall I go on?
None of that changes the fact that every member of the military is directly funded by taxpayer dollars just like the other public employees that are being bashed in this thread.
The items that you listed are examples of what happens to people when they do not have someone like a union to represent them when pay and benefits are negotiated.

What a crock....I am retired Military, and right now I can quit my job, I can also ask for a pay raise, but best of all, I can speak out and not worry and anything coming back at me.
We understand you hate the military, and that is you right, but you cannot lump them in unions....or not having a union, we signed very specific paperwork on what we can and cannot do when we joined....
But there were a million people on the recall petitions.
