Quote:This is where the leftists start making fun of you and using terms like "bootstrappy" to describe how you've succeeded. I, too, followed a similar path though without the military. I got married, worked what jobs I could find, found a career, went to college and grad school and am now told that people can't do what I did and I should sacrifice my family's financial means on their behalf.  I mean, living on a budget is somehow beneath all these people who think they shouldn't have to do what we did, that financial security is their right, even if that means other people have to subsidize it.
