    LOL if I was dead, how do you think I would be talking to you right now?

    All you know about the military is what you’ve heard from the media. If you’ve experienced it you’ll know how boring and uneventful it is and hardly anybody ever gets injured. They pay you money for the rest of your life and you are set.

    Oh and if you like cemeteries so much, military veterans get free burial too. Do you have any idea how much a funeral and a burial costs for civilians? $$$$$$

        Like my 89-year-old grandfather who was a World war II veteran, the military paid for his funeral. His death had absolutely nothing to do with military service. He died of old age, decades after World war II.

          I wonder if I could talk them into giving me the funeral money and just throwing me in a ditch instead.

          my grandfather was a wwii veteran, and they took pretty good care of him.

          his brother was also a wwii veteran and spent the rest of his life drinking away the horrors he’d seen and scream-sobbing any time there was a thunderstorm.
