   Not socialism.  It's written into the contract I sign with the federal   
   government upon enlistment into the US Army.  I earned my medical benefits   
   after being damaged by my military service.  But because I have no income   
   and no way of making an income, my healthcare doesn't cost me anything.    
   However, after 35 years of paying income tax and into Social Security, it's   
   time for me to reap what I sowed, if you will.   
      
   Sadly, there are many veterans who are much worse off than I am physically,   
   emotionally, and mentally that get treated with no respect or regard by the   
   very same office and their government.  I'm one of the lucky ones.
