Liberals will tell you that the military gets paid to kill and be killed, as they sit on their soft behinds enjoying the liberty to make such statements because of the protection the military provides.
It was absolutely disgusting how the surviving families pissed and moaned about only getting $2,082,128 (
http://www.justice.gov/archive/victimcompensation/payments_deceased.html) on average for their love ones that were killed in the 911 attacks.
At that time, the average GI was insured for $200,000 if my memory is correct.
Of course what should we expect when only 0.5 percent of the population in the last two generations (
http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/27/opinion/americans-and-their-military-drifting-apart.html?_r=0) has shouldered the entire load of military service.
And if you want to see true racial/ethnic/religious harmony of our US citizens, visit any combat arms unit of any of the services.
