    What future do my children have to look forward to? The cost of living is outrageous, we're more divided than ever before based on numerous petty differences, our media can't be trusted, our politicians lie to us constantly, and taxes continue to take more; of what little we have left. My children will never fight for this country.

    I was an Infantryman in the 82nd Airborne for 6 years and I'll shout it from the rooftops. DON"T JOIN THE MILITARY. Now I'm in my late 30s, 90% disabled, and have to live with my mom because the cost of living is so high I can't afford a car note, rent, and food at the same time. And if you actually try to fight the VA to get the help you need they will not so subtly remind you that your disability rating could always be lowered if its reevaluated. So once again DON'T JOIN THE MILITARY. The Government doesn't care about you, the VA doesn't care about you, and most of all the American people don't care about you, so why should you care about them.
