So I was checking out a favorite mil blogger site about military money when I saw this article: Military Members Have it Too Good and Whine Too Much.

All right, so before I even started reading it I’m getting hot. Who the hell is this guy, saying we have it too good? I mean the guy that runs the site is a vet. Turns out the entire article is a response to a comment left on his site that says military members are basically “undereducated, underpaid, whiny little bitches.”

OK, those were my words, but I didn’t have to stretch it too far to get there. The actual wording in the comments was that military members have it “TOO GOOD! So quit your whining!” The same commenter also said military members “get GREAT PAY and BENEFITS! Especially for active duty who have NO COLLLEGE DEGREE, and LITTLE OR NO EXPERIENCE.”

Wow. The commenter is some kind of doctor and he can’t even use spell check. He also goes through a 16 point list of military benefits that he obviously doesn’t understand.

So Ryan, the blogger over at Military Finance Network does a good job at ripping into this guy – listing his inaccuracies, providing facts and resources that basically make this dude look like a pretentious snob. I guess this doctor is in a higher class than us “uneducated, inexperienced, and overpaid” military members who protect his freedom of speech.

So go check out this article and drop a line of support in the comments. Start with this article explaining military compensation, then read the long comment that rips into military compensation. Then head over to read the response: Military Members Have it Too Good and Whine Too Much.

It’s a long article, but it is worth the time and will probably get your fired up.
