I know you served in the corps, and I respect that, but what have YOU done for your country?

Is just serving your term in the military ACTUALLY contributing to the country? From a financial standpoint, your salary was paid by taxpayers, as was your food, clothing and training. Can you honestly say that you have done MORE than I have for this country?

It's an interesting topic, and my opinion is not fully formed, so please don;t think that i'm saying that i don;t think military service is of value, i'm just saying that you shouldn;t take a superior tone with people who have not actually enlisted just because you DID. we all contribute to the country...just in different ways.
