Remember when this was what they cost?

That's a rather insulting reply to someone that took it upon himself to be in the military, wether voluntarily enlisted, or got drafted into the service, back in the old days.
I'm sure we didn't go in for what was paid to us, back in the dinosaur days.
Personally, i don't appreciate your thinking.

well, then let me explain my thinking, because obvious it wasn't clear what I meant

first of, I hold all service members in the highest regard and I believe they should be properly compensated for their service
the idea that someone flipping burgers (making 15 dollars an hour) makes more then ANYONE in the armed forces is repugnant

and that is what I was referring to, when I made that remark, tongue in cheek
apparently my intend did not show through, and I apologize for that
