Michelle Obama - you are one big LIAR.
____________
She is the master mind behind little barry. She is a white people hater and her one goal in life is to take what we have. Evil, evil woman. So much hate in her heart.

So is the current White House resident opting for a $200+ a week raise for veterans?

Never heard of anything so outrageous. Figures, though, that guy is barely American.

“The administration is considering charging veterans’ health insurance plans earned through civilian employment for VA’s costs in treating service-connected injuries or ailments.”

This is an absolute disgrace and needs to be pounded on day and night.

IOW, what can this administration do to A) get career volunteers to take the next opportunity to not re-enlist and B) reinstitute the draft under the pretext that the US armed forces are understrength?

We haven't had any true leadership in the Oval Office in over 20 years

Bush has been a wonderful Commander-In-Chief.

The military is the only thing standing between us and Communism. The reason O and his leftist cronies want to cause the military to fail.... Replace all the Patriots with useful idiots that will not revolt.

Really? I wish I could hear it. All I hear are the sounds of silence and all I see are Obama bumper stickers on cars driven by brain-dead, moronic ,liberal, America-hating fools. I would rejoice if I heard even a murmur of dissatisfaction amongst the populace.

At this point, I don’t think it’s possible to say that anything is “beyond the pale” for this administration.

Shinseki has always been a total douche, although I suspect this policy belongs to his master.

Bush has been a wonderful Commander-In-Chief.

Sorry I can't agree. He had for six years the congress he needed to rebuild our military strength. Instead he was too busy playing Global Corptrader and LBJ-2 on domestic. We are in a world of hurt military wise thanks to the two Bush's and Clinton as well as the thumb sucking congress since 1989 that as well did nothing but defense reductions. Bush blew the opportunities of all opportunities to turn things around after 9/11. No End Troop Strength increases in active duty asked for despite the fact good able bodied men were literally beating the doors down to join up. That was a real major blunder. He had all he needed to push it through.

I also fault him for continuing Poppy's misguided now on a regular basis reserves for deployment call ups. I could see it maybe six months till active forces were trained but this is now an ongoing issue of nearly 20 years with no slow down in sight. Actually Navy wise things happened under his watch that didn't even get that bad under Carter and things did get bad then but at least the yard work got done.

Which brings another point. Since End Troop Strength numbers were not raised, some are doing fourth 12 month tours. I expected more out of a GOP POTUS and six year GOP two house majority. There was no excuse for it. None!

BHO sure isn't going to do anything and now military wise even what we had will be gone. Not having much left defense wise to start with makes BHO's agenda all that much easier to do.

Oh BTW we now have a ship without engines because even that has been outsourced.

The Am. Legion? The VFW? I can’t believe that they would do this! They supported GWB both times. If they did, I don’t even know these org.s anymore! This makes me so freaking mad!

Whew, thank goodness! I didn’t think either one would, let alone one of them! It may be that a few posts did, but that isn’t the whole bunch all over! They also endorsed GWB in 2000 and 04.
