I believe that the poster was comparing the relative ease of life in a developed nation such as the US vs the life in a developing nation with a shaky economy. I don't think they were saying anything that would diminish or demean your service, nor the difficulties that you face as a result of serving as you do.
I was mainly pointing out how its harder to stay up-to-date with gaming hardware in South America because of various issues with the postal system there inflating the costs a lot.

I'd never look down on how hard other people work to maintain their own gaming rigs. I'm disabled and I haven't been able to work for over 3 years and I absolutely would not be able to afford to build a PC on my own. I only have a good gaming PC right now because my older brother gives me his old parts when he upgrades. So I'm largely only still playing this game because I'm lucky enough to have a bro that will help me out. Most people aren't that lucky though and I respect that.
