Well, this Tommy sees the Repubs going along with cutting our retirement benefits. I'm sick of you Ryan and Boenher! I'm sick of go along to get along maggot congressmen saying "We're here to support our troops,..." but then cut our retirement and medical coverage down the road, after we've grown old, survived the various wars and constant deployments and are now long in the tooth and our bodies don't work as well as they once did.
Have they cut their retirement? Have they cut their own healthcare coverage?
My knees and other joints are arthretic...I carried a heavy rucksack, ran on pavement constantly with combat boots, and did a few parachute jumps.
Is it too much to ask the US government to honor its pledge to us retirees to pay our retirement without nickel and diming us constantly? They can't find the money? I suggest welfare programs and foreign aid as a start.
Establishment republicans make me sick. You are worthless liars; I'm done with the lot of you! 
A most sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU for your service, Sir.
It is a horribly shameful thing that our government treats our veterans so poorly, while doling out ever greater benefits to those who have done nothing and wouldn't if asked.
Prayers up that your arthritis improves rather than worsens, and that in the future your joints may carry you with strength and pride, as they no doubt did in your youth.
Again, Sir, my thanks to you. Best FRegards, dayglored.
