I agree. The new recruits being under this new rule would be ok with me. However, all this drama over this was ridiculous. I KNEW it was never going to be implemented in the first place. People just like to complain and be worried for nothing. It was kind of embarrassing to see the Veterans react in that way. I am under this new law and I was not concerned a bit. I even expressed my views on that on FR and of course of bashed by the “sky is falling” crowd.
You totally miss the point. You should be worried because this little stunt by Ryan shows the GOP is happy to throw the middle class under the bus to get a deal with the Dems. Did the Dems cut obamaphones for their supporters? No. Did the GOP agree to cuts for their supporters. Yes.
That they will now do a deficit spending side deal to “fix” this is irrelevant. We have seen what the GOP is made of. BOHICA.
“Ryan and Murray have agreed to make one change to the law: reversing pension cuts for service members retired for medical reasons. They say medically retired veterans were included in the agreement due to a technical error.”......
“Technical error” my behind. Lying bastards!
Totally agree- this was so stupid on GOP to do this -— see how media is spinning it? GOP going after Vets....why even play with this fire when it only ends up burning the GOP every time.....
Mark my words, this will be an election conversation GOP wanted to cut Vets out of their pay, no mention of the Dem supporters”....
