Freedom isn't Free

I always thought it was funny how those, in the US, who are most adamant about funding the military, the most hawkish about colonialism spreading democracy and the most vocal about showing support for our veterans are also the same people who rally against having to pay for those things by way of federal tax.

So here; this is for all my friends who haven't thought about HOW we pay to ensure that our veterans are not forgotten and can live well for their service, for all my friends who haven't thought about how we can keep all those troops who are in active service fed and housed, about how we can fund defending our own freedoms.
