I'm not sure what axe you're grinding but.......what?
I haven't taken a dime from my parents since I was 18. Referrring to military service as a government subsidy is both ignorant and insulting not to mention petty.
There are plenty of former military folks and pure civilians receiving no money from government sources or their parents who make a fine living as professional pilots. If you
chose another path resulting in huge debt, low wages or both, take your whine fest somewhere else and maybe think a bit before you post.
