Have we finally become a SOFT society here in America?
I'm starting to believe we have finally tipped scales. Seems like everyone today wants something for free? I remember joining the Marine Corps. 17 yrs ago and the Marine Recruiter asking one simple question, "why should I allow you to join the Corps?" I was shocked but hooked! Simply said I would have to work hard to EARN something! Has it changed now where more rather than less don't want to earn it anymore?

Doesn't it feed you, provide a roof over your head, and give you free healthcare?

free healthcare
No. It's not "free". (I'll leave the discussion of the quality to those who are currently serving. Back in the day let's just say we didn't have the best).
It is part of your employment contract. When you enlist you agree to trade your time and effort. Money, room, board, vacation, healthcare, uniforms, etc. are what you get in return.
Well, that and in some cases the benefit of being shot at, blown up, etc.

Now days it's actually written into the contract to take the money directly out of your paycheck for all those things. And Navy medicine still sucks.

Yes, it's the perfect communist society. From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
