<p>> Why do you want the people risking their lives to protect your freedom to have worse artillery?<p>Hi. Veteran here. I protected his freedoms to do just that. You asking this question in that way insults veterans, whether you intended it or not. People using this line of thinking usually only care about veterans when it can win them arguments, and do not care any other time.<p>> I don't understand this thinking at all<p>Then, instead of asking questions with inflammatory language, you should humble yourself and ask respectfully so you can understand.</p>

<p>I'm over 40, and I flew many times before 9/11. Nope, flying has gotten much easier. The entire experience, from getting to the airport and parking to getting to your hotel. Yes, TSA is a drag, but I've never had an issue. And since I got PreCheck, it's gotten easier. Altogether, I enjoy flying.</p>

<p>> this focus on mental health is itself unhealthy.<p>Yes. We should ignore things like school shootings, which have long been described as the result of mental health issues. Ignore PTSD. Soldiers can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps. By all means, ignore the mental health of a rape victim or a child abuse victim. They can just tough it out. Clearly, that's the better strategy.<p>Oh, and you've been working in this field for how long?</p>

<p>Nope. Hard to parse. And it's not hard to parse.<p>> fast/junk food is hard to swallow.<p>Lots of people easily eat it so this doesn't make sense.
