What do I not understand? I think it's inappropriate and, seriously, quite offending to say that soldiers risk their lives so the rest of us can have a good time...
Either there's a real reason or their isn't. But some people's tendency to defer their responsibilities to others (soldiers in this case) is just really lame. Your provocative question in the end of your previous post just shows that even more.
All I said was that they could buy their own devices while others clearly can't. Even if they'd have to wait for six weeks, for others, it's out of the reach forever.
I don't understand why some of you are now bitchin about me for pointing that out. This had no ideological implications whatsoever, I even apologized for my first comment and tried to break it down in a reasonable statement, I cannot do anything else. And I don't understand why some of you find that personally offending. My dad's been in the military as well and we often talk about such things and he doesn't take it personal (if I'm allowed to be a bit personal as well) but in fact shares some of this with me and inspires such thoughts. Maybe he's just intelligent enough to see behind this "risking your life" crap that only exists nowadays to make unbelievably stupid people feel special (in sort of that way "what do you have" "I have a double master in business and law" "oh, I have my life")...
Coal miners and policemen and fire engineers also risk their lives but get no special treatment...
