Pontooner, they make it sound like Military Health Care, for active duty and retirees, is a bad thing and a freebe which is not deserved. I'll have them and you know that when I joined the Army in 1956, I was told that if I stayed 20 years, I would never have another medical or dental bill the rest of my life.
I don't have the time nor space to go into how wrong that has been and how hard it has been for us retirees to get even part of what was promised to us. I put 23 years on Active Duty, including two trips to Viet Nam, and I feel that I have earned every bit of the Health Care that I can get from my Uncle Sam. Now to have Obama want to put me under the same socialized health care that 16 million illegal aliens will get, is a crying shame.
Thats my opinion.
