Contentious question admittedly, but why ?
I hear the argument that they’ve served their country and all that which is commendable but they weren’t conscripted, had 3 meals a day, a roof over their heads (admittedly not the best at times), and they got paid for it. That’s without taking into account the medical expertise they had access to and dental care. When people sign up they’re not blind to what they’re going into, I just don’t see the argument that they should be treated any differently to any other member of society when they leave the forces. I know it’s not a view many agree with and I accept that but it’s something that’s always bugged me
Native New Yorker here. I’d definitely recommend visiting the Met if you like museums. Has a bit of everything. An incredible place.
The High Line is very cool. Great example of urban planning to “reclaim” land.
Lower East Side for the kosher deli experience. Junior’s cheesecake in Brooklyn or midtown.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about your visit
One last thing—sell those Yankees tickets and go see the Mets instead

A fabulous but complicated pastime. If you shoot before you drink you can lose an unfortunate volume of beer. If you drink before you shoot you may create unfortunate outcomes. Still, everyone needs to try it at least once.

Always wanted to visit Arkansas. Big fan of Levon Helm, and his description of growing up in Turkey Scratch/Marvell in his autobiography is incredibly vivid. The summer heat, the cotton fields, the blues music. One day!
He should be fine, it's school holidays

I don’t think it’s that contentious as you bring up a lot of very good points. I can only give you an answer based on my experience, others might have a different view on it.
Whilst the armed forces isn’t conscripted, you are serving your country although being paid to do so. There will be times you’re asked to go to war and serve in and around conditions that are going to either injure you both physically and/or mentally, or even kill you; all of which you accept when you join.
The things I think the government can do better is improvement of pay (public sector as a whole has been smashed in this area for the last 13 years), the conditions the lads and girls live in are horrendous in some of the bases. The support for people that leave the armed forces is getting better, but it still can be improved, IMO.
It’s mostly getting better due to the charities and people going out of their own way to improve things, rather than the government injecting money and resource into it.
I think as a minimum of the support offered to people leaving the forces should be improved, along with the food and accommodation they are provided with whilst serving.
Or 'Herbs.'
Boils my piss how they drop the H.
Other than that, nice place. There's looneys everywhere so can't use that stick to beat them.
To add to my original post as I was tired last night writing it, I also think the level of support should be greater, but I don’t think it should be preferential to any other Joe Public, across the board public services need to be improved massively, this is a huge government failing in my opinion. Anyway, that’s for CA forum so I’ll not labour the point any further
