Why should the military be a sacred cow when it comes to cuts? In case you haven’t heard, we’re broke. The main problem here is that Obama is not serious enough. It is time to stop policing the wolrd. Again: here’s a newsflash for you: we can’t afford it anymore.

Please see my post #52. Cut the bleepin’ welfare programs, leave the military alone. Why should we honor those who contribute nothing, while we take away from those who are willing to contribute ALL, including their lives.

And here's one for you: the PUBLLIC sector (government jobs) make tens of thousands more a year than the military - and no bullets to dodge.

The congress creatures and senators make 4-5 times what the military make - and retire with almost full pay - and free BEST OF health insurance for life..all out of our pockets.

AND they voted themselves a nice pay raise.

Ever ask for an accounting of how many thousands of retired politicians now living in luxury and at what cost - out of OUR pockets?

I suspicion the military could get raises for many years on that amount.
