I would like to prevent a bro down on the public side of the forums...but I would like a PM from the individual to discuss (if the individual even comes on here.). Very poor form, though, especially with pax on board. Sorry to the taxpayer that vets live a life of "luxury."

not that I agree with what that guy said, but isn't this a free country (thanks to the veterans for that) where he is entitled to his own, more than likely, uninformed and skewed opinion?

"Why should I pay tax's after flying around in an air conditioned jet to fund the people that have suffered unbelievable conditions and seen many of their comrades injured or killed?"
A professional pilot in uniform would refrain from making such comments in public.

Airline pilots should refrain from doing a lot of things in public. Yet we still do. There's morons everywhere, get over it.
