14. "willing to" is the phrase I have a problem with
Edited on Fri Mar-19-04 02:14 AM by SoCalDem
For soldiers who serve a 4 yr stint in peacetime, and come out with free college, I see no reason why a healthy 24 yr old who will not serve again, and never was injured , or saw battle, should get free medical care for life..

It's different if they saw combat.. In fact soldiers who saw combat, SHOULD be entitled to lifetime mental health care, but if they were not injured, and get a college education out of their service, why should they even need to use military health care? You are aware that the military is actually usiing income caps to disqualify vets..??

I would rather see the older guys who were dropped off the rolls, get their coverage back, before 25 yr olds, with bronchitis being treated at at military hospital..
