You obv have a reading disorder so I will help you, like I was trying to help that vet. I essentially said stop being lazy and looking for handouts. There are several job opportunities but that would involve applying one's self.
There is no shame to taking an in between job if you have bills to pay. The "perfect" job doesn't fall into anyone's lap... you have to aggressively go get it. This is similar to poker in that if you don't continue to apply yourself, study, etc you will become withered.
Finally, it would be completely up to THAT individual service member what they would want to do after completing one career (that many internet warriors wouldn't be fit to serve). A service member with 20yrs + 50% disability will earn close to $3000 per month for retirement. If they want to go fishing and play poker for life... cool! If they choose to actively seek a 2nd career... also fine.
Hopefully this interwebz warrior Wiper will use the couple of brain cells, read thoroughly, and understand that McDonalds is not the only option I was offering.
