I don't get it. Anybody knows better than to say something like this.

I saw the interview earlier today. I'm not in the military but I find what he said to be offensive. He is also a big supporter of Hillary so that says it all.

I'm not offended. His statement is pretty close to truth if you think about it. It's just not politically correct in this society.

Good thing he made that comment about vets and not Mexican immigrants like Trump did, people would get very upset if he had.

It's just posted on zerohedge with no attributions.



Well that's in the OP so I'm not sure why you posted it again nor does it address why it's not found elsewhere

Bloomberg content doesn't always make it to the search engines. Go to Bloomberg and look for the video of Buffett with the caption government needs to do more about income inequality (not sure if that's the exact title, but along those lines).

Buffett: Government Should Do More on Income Inequality - Bloomberg Business

It's a shame that people find his comment offensive, yet have no problem with our predatory military recruitment practices that actively seek out people from poor, uneducated backgrounds and sends them off to die just so some political cronies can get rich.

Also, what does this have to do with investing?
