You misunderstand me, Judah.

I do not HATE the Federal Government at all, but I DO wish that they would construct themselves, from ANY side, unto the simple tenants of our own Constitution, and allow we, the people, to support, and help ours, and others as we see fit, rather than taking from, and giving unto, those that THEY see fit to do so.

I am very happy for you that you were able to advance your own situation through said Government, which is well deserved, and I, for one, thank you for your service.

Mine own point was simply thus.

Our responsibility, as citizens of this great Nation, is to attend unto others within need ourselves, when and if we can, as individuals, rather than have some overseeing entity determine for us which individual, or individuals, should benefit without our own moral contribution.

That responsibility lies within each of us, Judah, individually, NOT through the entity called the Federal Government.

You have done well, but, how many Veterans have not?
