Faulty logic...Conservatism


I am so sick of so called conservatives who use or have used sliding scale health care or worse yet, gone without and then had the tab picked up by We, the people, used public schools, reduced lunches, any school program that benefits their child, ANY government funded college grant or loan, used any social program of any kind (including WIC, food stamps or welfare) in the past or now, any FDIC backed bank, court system or made one call to the fire or police, is associated with any direct family member through pregnancy or sickness, who benefited from said programs without stepping in and not burdening, an already overburdened system, benefited while out of work with extended unemployment benefits, used public roads and bridges, benefited from our military, took a government check for any subsidy or refund because of allowed deductions, are in a union of any kind, be it labor or professional), didn't pay taxes while serving our country, used a federally subsidized farm program or agreed to fight a war on terror, while other countries would not back us and in turn depleted our surplus and forcing us to put it on a "credit card".  
Under purely conservative reasoning, it's a choice to serve our country and why should anyone making any freewill choice who is already getting a paycheck, benefits and a job be excluded? Could the answer be as simple as it's right to give them the honor of this benefit because they are putting their very life on the line to protect our freedoms so we don't have to be inconvenienced? 
If that is a logical exception and explanation, why would there not be other reasonable and sound exceptions and explanation to every aforementioned "entailment"? 
I'm so sick of hypocrites who use the system yet scream about it. Its either or...completely self sufficient or not. The world is not black and white. For there to be gray area, there has to be reason.  For every professed conservative voter out there, good for you if you and yours have NEVER benefited from anything the "government" did on your behalf, paid for by, WE the people(and China, of course because those wars didn't pay for themselves).
