    1776 Christmas bonus for the military

    Trump said he was going to do it, and he did. My son-in-law already got his deposited. $1,776 just as Trump said.

    On the other hand, the price of Dodge Chargers at car dealerships near military bases all went up by $1,776 yesterday.

    That's very true about car dealerships around military bases. You'll never see more young men driving brand new BMWs than on a military base.

    Actually; I'm glad to see the $1,776.00 payments go to US Military personnel. This country pisses away a lot more than that every day on unproductive, unmotivated, and uneducated people every day. Might as well give it to someone who is doing something for the common good.

        The goober that's married to my cousin's cum-dumpster daughter will spend his on video games. Definitely won't be spent on anything wise.

            I'm glad that the military members are getting a bonus, they don't make enough money as it is.

            The only bonus that I was offered while serving was a re-up bonus while being in a combat zone to stay in that combat zone for another year. I told them to keep their bonus and give me a ticket back to Flarda.

              I was anxious to get the hell gone then when time came to leave I damn near stayed. Got home and I kind of missed the mountains but I got word the 4th was movin over to the east coast and it was hot as all hell over their. Got home and it was the same boring sheet. If I had a time machine I would go back in a heartbeat.
              Cat and mouse up in the triple canopy with the NVA all the implements of destruction yah want. Damn wish I stayed.

                You're not alone. Even though military service is often dirty, difficult and thankless; most of us would jump at the chance to go back in time and serve just ONE day. I know I would. I was in for over 30 years, a combination of active, reserve and inactive reserve. The longer I was in, the more I enjoyed it and the better I got. I was one of those guys they had to force to retire.

                I never really clicked in the civilian sector. Yeah... I had a modestly successful civilian career, but nowhere near like I did in the military. The military was in my blood and in the civilian sector, I was a fish out of water.

                When I retired, I wanted to re-engage my military skills. I tried local politics and veterans organizations. Neither clicked with me. Sort of by accident, my wife and I began volunteering for our county sheriff department a couple years ago. We both love it.
