Even here on FR vets are thrown under the bus on occassion when it comes to bennies.
I agree that the pain is inevitable because those bastages in DC are doing nothing to fix any of this mess. But ALL need to feel the pain. Isolating the veteran for the pain is, as the article alluded to, an egregious breach of faith.
IMO, if, as a veteran, I’m going to get pricked, then all those who take federal dollars under any pretext need to get pricked.
And that it really doesn't matter about cutting veteran's benefits because everyone else was lied to as well and no one can afford defined benefits retirements.
