credit cards

[Ross White]

I've worked for active-duty military families for more than thirty years.
The men in more than half those families have been killed fighting overseas.
I still work for those same families, and discount every service I perform
for them.  Fifteen years ago I gave up trying to obtain compensation for
work I had already performed for military organizations on military bases,
and simply stopped working for them, even though they asked me to.  I assume
many piano technicians have had good experiences selling their services to
military organizations.  I know many have not; I have not.  In
self-employment, one takes risks; and, I thought other technicians might
appreciate knowing that there are greater-than-normal risks in selling to
large military organizations.  

My sympathies are with military families; and, I take care of them as well
as I can, not being a particularly wealthy man.  They all know it and
appreciate it.  But I hate the large military organizations that cheat,
because they cheat.  They are dishonest.  And I don't have the wealth to
sustain a business relationship with them.  If you do, good luck to you.  I
mean it.

Who's "military" are we speaking of here? I am retired United States Navy. I
saw "cheating" of all types from the civilian community against the
"military" all the time. The "military" exists to provide for national
defense against those beyond our borders who would cause harm to us. On the
more local level, we have the "police". Perhaps we should do away with all
agencies of law enforcement. Then, it would just be you and me, brother,
just you and me. 

 

And, I don't take prisoners.

Now wait a minute. You mean Ross has no right to complain of being cheated
out of $1300 without being called unpatriotic and ungrateful? Too bad the
military is such a sacred cow- it is beyond any form of criticism. It can do
no wrong. Just suck it up, Ross. It is your patriotic duty. 

 

And certainly nobody HAS to fight. I personally would be thankful if there
were fewer men willing to so.

You're right - it is unpatriotic and ungrateful. It is not the entire
military system at fault - just the particular bureaucracy you're dealing
with.  I'm thankful there are men who want to fight so I don't have to.
Let's not dis 'em!

 

Why not contact your congressman?

It may seem unpatriotic and ungrateful to say it, but the military cheats.
It's a crooked operation.  I know many businessmen in my community who
absolutely refuse to sell anything to the Army.  

There's a reason toilet seats cost the Army eight hundred bucks each!
