  1. I'm 55, USAF vet, traveled the world, the only time anyone ever took a shot at me was in the desert (Iraq, Kuwait, somewhere there) in 1991. How can Europe have inexpensive/free health care and all the other benefits? Its easy when they DON'T NEED A MILITARY BECAUSE THE USA DOES IT FOR THEM! Dubai was nice in 1991 when I went there on leave, long story. Why does the US have high costs for health and education? Because of guv involvement. Compulsory insurance like for vehicles increases costs, and insurance colluding with medical companies makes things hideously expensive. Guaranteed loans for school floods universities with money and they find ways to spend it, because its impossible for people to get out of them. I have to deal with the VA, and if you want to know what it would be like when DC runs everything like they do in Europe, talk to one of us disabled vets. Every one of the people in the video came from big cities like NYC and LA. Not a single one was what you would call highly capable and the 'males' are not masculine. They're all timid and afraid because they've been told they need to be. Get out of the blue 'd' run areas and the USA is a wonderful place to live. I don't lock my doors, I leave the keys in my cars, and if I want to put holes in paper I can do it in my yard and nobody freaks out about it. Nobody breaks in, steals from me, or anything else, and as long as I avoid drunken college kids who're trying to look tough, nobody starts anything with me. I carry, but not because I am afraid of the people who live here or because I think I am going to get into some kind of high speed projectile exchange, it just doesn't happen. I have two blue cities I have to drive through to get back to Nebraska where one of my kid's live and some of my cars still are, so I have 300 rounds and a long distance scary hole puncher in my truck because I have to go through them. I will not be like Reginald Denny when the d's running the place decide to allow riots and I happen to get stuck in one while driving through.
