The original content of this thread was the Outback Steakhouse donating to the US military fund. How is this helping ppl in other countries? Dont let Society drag this thread in another direction!!

Why help fund our military when there are sick, homeless and dying people in our own country? Our military is already well funded.

Why does our military, which supposedly needs funding from private organizations, feel the need to help other countries?

This is the 501(c)(3)'s website:

http://www.operationhomefront.net/default.aspx

It is a charity, it isn't as if proceeds go to buying ammunition, it is a support group not unlike charities set up to help policemen or firemen and their families if they are injured or killed. It is a strain on any form of logic to see this as "funding the military."

And I still don't understand society's first post on the thread. It seemed anti-marketing....now it is all about anti-military? If so there was nothing about it in the initial post.

Excuse my french..but fuck helping these 3rd world countries. What have they ever done for us? Hell..Haiti hates us. Did any other country come help us during Katrina? Thats a big fat no. We have too many problems in America. We need to worry about ourselves before other countries that dont even appreciate what we are doing.

Just because someone doesn't have an American Flag waving out of his ass and doesn't unload every extra penny toward military charities doesn't mean they hate the military.

I am very thankful for what our troops do, but at the same time I also realize they knew exactly what they were signing up for.
It made more sense to raise them up on a pedestal during draft times because people were forced into the mess and maybe were not ready, but it's no longer like that. It's just another career/life path you can take out of high school.... plain and simple.

Society wrote: Very true. The military is the military because the military is of the military. It's expensive military.

LMAO!!! I screwed that wording all up, didn't I? LOL

I fixed it though. The word was supposed to be *machinery
Not necessarily true. Yeah, the military gets very expensive machinery, but that doesn't mean the average person serving in the military gets huge wages... or "more than enough".
