To be honest, I think that this has to do with where people are from. Some areas in the US, even a homeless person feels entitled to something, while in others, any and all work is OK. Probably hit and miss really. I know that we were raised to work hard because my grandma taught us that nothing is free. Even as a member of the Armed Forces, I dont go looking out for handouts. I never participate in the Veterans Day free food at restaurants. I have turned down more free booze and food from people than I can remember. The only thing that I have used my military status is getting a discount on hotels if the room is more than $100.00, and a bump to first class if I am flying more than two hours.
