So, am I going to be taxed now or retired service members exempted? No answer from them.

And my family paid. Missed kids birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. Sacrifice. Kids moved every 2 to 4 years. Sorry, but you just don't understand.

Don't tell me I don't understand about sacrifice.

I don't begrudge paying taxes at this time to pay for your care.
Apparently that is not reciprocal.
