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.
Don't compare public sector employees to our armed forces.

Teachers, emergency responders ... to name two groups of public employees ... contribute no less to our nation and our security and prosperity than do members of the military. Though different tasks, each is important. Those who attack our public employees ought to think twice ... about who will respond to their needs the next time they themselves seek help and/or guideance.

MADISON — A final round of campaign finance reports shows that one of the most active liberal political action committees in Wisconsin is bringing in money and campaign staff from out of state in the days before the recall election.
We Are Wisconsin, a political action committee based in Madison, is one of the most active groups campaigning against Republican Gov. Scott Walker. The PAC since May 24 has received more than $1.18 million from unions in other states and Washington, D.C. Most of that total has been spent to bring in out-of-state organizers to help drive Tuesday's get-out-the-vote initiatives.
You defame the millions of innocent Jews; and Gentiles, who lost their lives in the Holocaust. Surely, you do not equate the American political process to that.
