I think the problem here is that you are misusing the word "free". As a member of the armed forces, Steve had to perform certain job functions in return for the benefits he received. In other words, he was employed by the military.

I take my pay and go and purchase my own meals, shelter, beer and scotch. I get my porn for free so that is a benefit.
Did Steve take his military pay and go and purchase his own meals, shelter and health care premiums?
Nope. Yet he expects others too. That's hypocrisy. You can try and wriggle out of it all you want, but that's the truth.
Every taxpayer has been working for the government from the day they earned their first legit paycheque. Steve lived off their hard work for 20 years while they supported themselves, their family AND Steve. Now that they're having a little trouble and need some of their own money back, he says no, you can't have it until I've decided that you've worked hard enough for it.
Just a tad arrogant, no?
