To the woman who compared military pay to welfare in the "comment" section: How dare you even try to compare the two! My husband was gone, "deployed" for nearly 700 days in a three-year time span. You don't think those men and women earn their pay and benefits? You don't think they should get certain entitlements? I don't recall a welfare recipient doing 700 days of community service for their pay. These men and women are "serving" and protecting you and us while others are getting "free" stuff for doing absolutely nothing but just existing. You need to do some serious homework!
