I wonder what other returned or serving military members of this forum think of this thread.

eta: personally I think it's just lovely that everyone has a right to discuss whether or not they should be paid or not.

I'm pretty sure no one in the private sector would put up with that sort of shit.

My husband was a marine (technically you can't say was, but he couldn't wait to get out, so he is definitely an 'ex') and he says you can never discount the sacrifice asked of our servicemen, but when it comes to death on the job, all life, when extinguished, is just as important as any others.

I don't think you'll find many who disagree with that.
