Brian Burke, N0IMD, claimed that a now-dead person wrote something.
If the now-dead person wrote what Brian claimed, what's the problem
with asking to see the original?


There's nothing wrong with a now-living person asking that question.
There's also nothing wrong with a now-living person from answering as
Heil has - "do your own homework."

who wants to demean

...
with HIS "definition" of "pay,"
that of "being subsidized by the taxpayer."


Why do you think the word "subsidized" is demeaning, Len?

I quoted a definition for "subsidy" from the Webster's New Collegiate
Dictionary:

"a grant to a private person or company to assist an enterprise deemed
advantageous to the public"


A serviceman or woman is not a private person. Nor are they a private
company.

Do you even know what they are?

What is demeaning about that?


What isn't demeaning about it?

"subsidize" is defined in the same book as "to furnish with a subsidy"


So?

Now of course it's clear that someone who is directly employed by the
government is not "a private person or company", so the word doesn't
really apply to anyone who gets a direct government paycheck.


You don't say.
