You do realize that the goal here is to re-institute the draft.
/Without enough ‘volunteers’ we simply MUST have a draft of young men and women to meet our commitments./s
And of course I can see basic slave wages for the term of the draftees term.
Yes, I’m smart enough to know that, only it will be conscription not draft and you can bet their precious sons and daughters aren’t going to be the ones conscripted. They are going to also have to conscript doctors to take care of the Medicare age people.
We are both Medicare/Tricare hubby is a Ret. Senior Chief and 71, and we are finding it hard to find doctors, some will, some won’t take you as of now, but 0’care has not fully kicked in yet. No Military hospital or docs in our area, even if you as a retiree could get in.
Personally I think if you run for higher office you should serve a 4 year hitch beginning as an E1 with no help from daddy and mommy.
We like people on SS have had no COLA’s in 2 years, but have seen his Navy pension decrease by $525 in new TAXES. Besides the doubling of food and gas prices.
The 10 ways Congress is targeting military and veterans’ benefits during today’s difficult fiscal times are to:
* Increase healthcare premiums for military retirees on TRICARE
* Increase pharmaceutical fees for troops, families and retirees
* Eliminate presumptive service-connected conditions for disabled and ill veterans
* Lock out or increase fees for Department of Veterans Affairs Priority Groups 7 and 8 veterans
* Reduce cost-of-living allowances
* Freeze military pay
* End government subsidies to military commissaries
* Eliminate Department of Defense elementary schools stateside
* Eliminate the 20-year military retirement plan
* Eliminate DOD tuition reimbursement programs for service members
