So, did you have a point or just wanted to complain?

Military is always about following the orders of your superior.  Doesn't matter what form the government is.  The soliders are supposed to go kill people, even each other, if so commanded.

Social Security?  Most people get back more than what they put in?  Do you even math?  Cause it seems like you just made those up.

Firefighters?  Volunteer?  I don't think that means what you think it means.  They do get paid, and usually they make a very good living.

Your point was that the military was supposedly some good and it was socialist. I argued that it was bad, and it was precisely because of its socialist nature. Without public funding there would be no military, so I don't know what you mean by "doesn't matter what form the government is" because every standing army is funded through socialist means - taxation. Voluntary militias don't have the same problems with ignoring morality as standing armies do. 

Social Security - 

Below is when the boomers just started retiring in 2010. 

So by your own admission the current retirees are still getting more than they put in to Social Security - non adjusted for inflation.  Still if they keep living, they use up much more.

And even your volunteer firefighters get pain - by your data. Don't they deserve to making a living?  It’s hard to pay rent with ‘thank yous.’

 

And the military, by it's nature, I didn't argue if it was good or bad, but that people in it, retired from it, and married to members were all being supported financially by socialism.

Do you have a point or you just want to hate the future?
