I am fine with the term "Social Security". I see enough homeless people roaming the streets. Some served in the military, even way back in the Vietnam War. Not everyone is LUCKY enough to live the good life in a "bubble". Sweden and Germany have products that are competitive on the world market - yet people say THEY have more socialism than the US.
.........I wonder how much total propaganda was spent internally and externally to the US to MAKE US citizens HATE the word socialism? And who profited from that exercise?
.........It is easy for a government (any government) to send recruits off to war, but easy to forget about them in their later life and look away from that responsibility.
