Why doesnt Hummer give discounts to Veterans

[GoldenH2]

I will say that is one thing Jeep does that I wish Hummer would.

As a former Blackhawk Pilot I think I deserve a big discount?

You deserve? Look dude, you don't deserve **** for serving our country. All of our Armed Forces are volunteer. You knew the compensation and risk when you signed up.

I was in the military for the better part of 10 years and I don't expect anything more than the next guy.

What do you get for serving? Freedom.

[GoldenH2]

seriously it is nice to see Jeep say thank you. When I was deciding between a new GC and my sut I just noticed that it seemed Jeep cared that I just came back from serving for 18 months.

I didnt join the armed forces just for thew discount I just thought it was nice.

I didnt even get the employee discount :sad:

[Bill Kervaski]

Agreed.

[HummerNewbie]

I agree that nobody is entitled a discount but it would be nice if all auto manufacturers would honor our troops, active or not, with a discount.

[GoldenH2]

not all of them but those who did real work and saw some action

[VTSTOMPER]

nevermind

[Mr. I - Man]

Hey, former Blackhawk pilot why would you need an discount you should be making some good scratch in the Civie World as a Rotor Head. ****ing liar where was your flight school???

[GoldenH2]

I didnt say I needed it I simply said it was nice of Jeep to offer it.

You have no right to call me a liar.

Because of our proximity to Oceana and Norfolk, not to mention all the other bases, it's not unusual for specials to be given to our men and women of the armed forces.

I'd love for you to spout off like that to any Marine. Also, please post pics of you H2 at Grey Rock ORV or offroad anywhere.

[PARAGON]

Well, first. I can say that there are now 2 Marines that have posted in this thread and both seem to share the same opinion.

See, dumbass liars can't seem to even lie well. Served 18 months. Don't try to make any fcking excuses, no one else would just say they "served" for 18 months. You might would have had an 18 month tour or something but a whirly-flyer has to spend quite a bit more time "in" before he becomes a pilot.

Yeah, I am sure you are going to try to say you were "over there" for 18 months. BS and you are fcking liar and should be shot for demeaning what it actually takes to serve your country.

As for as the gay comment about spouting off to any Marine, well, it's gay. Marines don't pay any higher of a price than any other member of our Armed Forces. We are just the first to do so.

[Bill Kervaski]

Cool! Who are the devil dogs of the bunch? I was a corpsman for 7 years.

[PARAGON]

No sir you are not lying. To be exact, you got the $500 Jeep Military bonus cash program which is available to eligible active military, retired military, active military reserve, retired military reserve, and veterans.
(Comments) This program is not combinable with the Jeep Everyday Heroes bonus cash program.

And JEEP is also offering $500 Everyday Heroes program which is available to eligible law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical technicians and paramedics.

Kudos for JEEP for doing the above but what's sad is they offer $1000 on their College Grad program which is available as long as you're 18 years of age. Holds a 2-year, 4-year, master's, doctorate or registered nurse degree from an accredited college or university, or be currently enrolled in a master's or doctorate program, or be an undergraduate within six months of graduation.

Hmmm, I think it's more of an insult to offer some kid that hasn't even graduate more rebate than the Military and the Everyday Heroes. I am not exactly sure I understand jeep's perspective on the appreciation http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

[PARAGON]

Well, they're owned by DC. That should explain it.

[Snake II]

Unfortuniately, they never pay enough tribute to those deserving it.

You should never pretend to be what your not. Especially since too many died, for what your trying to be. They served for what they believed in, and never asked for anything in return, but for us to remain free.

Freedom ISN'T FREE!!!

why only the one's who did "real" work? why should the guy who over here makes sure that you have everything you need over there when you open that box not get it? or the guy who reads all the computer programs and makes sure they work for all the nifty little toys that the military has. What's with the holier than thou attitude. I could possibly let it slide for having that with someone who isn't in the forces (still kind of shady though). But having that with someone who is supposed to be your brother in arms? that's just cold man

During desert storm and sheild I was never front line but I brought them there ammo and mail and alot of other things we transportation units did and after that war I had a little AHOLE have the nuts to tell me I wasnt a real soldier because I wasnt up front.

If you are military and looking for a free Hummer, there's always the Oprah show. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

[TBDAugs]

I didn't enlist to get free **** from the civilian community. What I did appreciate were those few times over my career when someone picked up my bar bill in the airport, or whatever stop and rob I happened to be eating/drinking at at the time. Most often it was other, older veterans.

You can keep the auto discount IMHO, seems to me to be more good marketing than altruism.

Me, everytime I travel I look in that airport bar where I'm waiting and pick up the tab of whomever is military. Don't care of they were combat vets or supply corps. All because when I was coming up someone else did it for me and it meant a helluva lot more than some suit offering me a car coupon.

Service is service, God bless'm all.
