Maybe I'm just ungrateful, but the U.S. doesn't promise things like housing, etc. when a soldier is discharged. The veteran does, however, have a ton of really nice benefits not available to you or me. They the benefit of the G.I. bill, the V.A., and access to a whole host of services.
What level of service is enough for vets? This article seems to take the position that we should be giving them additional services even thought they do nothing for us as ex-soldiers. I don't buy that a stint in the military entitles one to a lifetime of gimmees.
