I'm SICK of our lying, thieving, war-mongering, budget-blowing military industrial complex which can't treat its own soldiers and retirees FIRST class, KEEPING ITS PROMISES, on budget ... but is forever looking for another weapons system and another war to pick. If budget can't be met the damned military should fire some of its bureaucrats and close as many of its foreign spas as necessary.

What the military (not the poor saps who get conned into working for the military on enlisted man's pay ... apparently too low to pay more than hand to mouth) needs is a check up from the neck up and checking most of its weapons and resorts at the US border (where maybe they can defend *our* soil).


I have come to realize that men are not born to be free. Liberty is a need felt by a small class of people whom nature has endowed with nobler minds than the mass of men. -Napoleon

So what?

Why doesn't someone post a video about the millions of customers who aren't soldiers being forced to pay for checking even ONE bag?

There should be no problem with Delta getting paid to carry four bags -- especially since it sounds as like that fourth bag was just a "tad" overweight? " “My extra bag was my weapons case,” he said. “I had my assault rifle, a grenade launcher and a 9-mm. pistol.” He said the baggage fee posed an immediate financial hardship..." If the military can't afford to pay for all the extra bags then maybe the military needs to shut down a couple hundred bases and the State Department needs to stop "gifting" to foreign governments money which it doesn't have to gift. ASKING DELTA TO *SOCIALIZE* THE COST OF THE WAR ON ITS BALANCE SHEET IS SOMETHING YOU'D EXPECT OF A FASCIST OR SIMPLY COMMUNIST SYSTEM.

Should the soldiers have to pay? No, probably not. But should Delta have to just "suck it up"? ABSOLUTELY not!!!
