Be careful for assuming you may judge someone incorrectly.

I want to take a minute to clarify an earlier post that has created a profound amount of backlash from fellow veterans. First the question: should veterans that served their full 8 years and received an honorable discharge receive additional benefits? How the question should've been presented: Would you support a bill that would grant all veterans that served the military on multiple enlistments and were discharged honorably to receive a once a year stipend in the form of half a percent of their last known base pay on the anniversary of their ETS date?
(This has been interpreted that I'm ungrateful to the military and the VA for the benefits I already recieve) that couldn't be farther from the truth. Every year VA is looking for new ways to support veterans this was merely a suggestion. Much of the backlash and dare I say mockery came from senior NCOs and officers with well deserved retirement benefits. Benefits to which I am well aware that I don't deserve as they were earned for your full pledge to 20 years of service. I am very proud of my full 8 years I spent on active duty. Im even more proud of my two year long deployments to Iraq in support of OIF. I did everything I could to better myself as a soldier and go above and beyond. I never declined a school. So forgive me if I'm a bit offended myself as being looked down upon solely because of a question I proposed. I have thick skin I understand the military way I don't need a basic training timeout card. But please don't judge me based upon your assumption that I was just a lowly E-5 that did his 3 or 4 years for his college money and wants to suck the VA dry. I'm not looking for apologies I just wanted to clarify my previous question. Thanks for reading and thanks to those whom did respond with tact and professionalism.
