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?

You must be fucking retarded. Meals, shelther, health care, etc.... are all part of your wages and benefits while in the US military, as laid out in the employment contract. A service member gets them for WORKING. They are not handed out. The US Government offers these benefits for two reasons.
1. Basic military pay, alone, is not enough to live off. Therefore, they make up for it by offering better benefits. They help reduce your living costs.
2. They are employment incentives. They make the option of military service more competitive in the job market.
