By the way, I still don't think I "earned" anything. I think I had the obligation to do what I did, obligations don't come with lifetime benefits.
I would like to discuss this with you further, but I don't wish to distract from the thread. If your interested, please let me know. I don't want to get into the mumbo jumbo of single payer, socialist medicine. but rather a general overview of what we owe our country, and our countries obligation to us.
