I'm in the military I'm entitled to $.50 soda!!!! You mark up the pop though.

In all seriousness though - its an interesting debate how much of the military benefits is "deserved" and how much of it is a "handout".

The way it was explained to me - military benefits and perks are like employee compensation. Its not a "handout" - its compensating you for risking your butt for Uncle Sam for 4-20 years.
