“You do know that those “med benefits” were supposed to be free and are now just a bad insurance policy that the retiree has to pay for”

You do know that what you pay for your medical as a retiree is a mere small fraction of what other Americans pay for their insurance, don’t you?

You will still bitch until someone takes care of every little thing, won’t you?

Like it or not the military especially the enlisted are the lowest paid by the federal government hour for hour worked second to none. Their risk to harm many times even in peace time is much higher than federal workers except an elite small minority of federal workers of likely 1%. Roughing it away from home to a federal workers is having accommodations of anything less than a Holiday Inn.

An enlisted service member or even an officer may be pulling 18-20 hour days until further notice. There is no overtime, no maximim hoursd or even at times meals. Twenty years active duty in actual time worked would likely average out to 30 plus years in civilian federal job.

Yet our so called budget balancing LIBERAL TWITs in the senate in both parties choose to take from those who have the least and do the most for our nation in exchange for for their own stinking political gain. Those harmed in service to the United States are owed an moral obligation as do they the ones who have already put in "CONTRACTED" obligation and are still actual members of the armed forces which is something you don't see to realize. Fact: A retiree in the armed forces unlike any other federal employee is subject to mandatory involuntary recall at any time after said retirement.

There are dozens of alphabet federal agencies needing to be closed down entirealy that serve no Constrirurional function. Have they strarted there first? No!!! The Congressional retirement system needs to be ended and term limits put into place. None of this is happening. Not one part of it. Yet you think we should give Schmuck Ryan his friend across the asile an attaboy for taking away from those who have given this nation the most? Paul Ryan is a disgrace to congress along with Murray and the other likes of them.

I'm not a military retiree. But I'm DS&T of seeing our military destroyed by limp wristed Flowers who are destroying both armed forces and our nation by defunding Constitutional functions and increasing at the same time Unconstitutional offices and programs.

Priorities???? What Priorities? You call cutting armed fores pay and benefits the least in the federal system a necessary & needed priority? Hell man it's been cut year after year since 1989. Remember persons with 16 years vested military service being booted out in the mid 1990's? Less persons doing more. Is that cutting not deep enough for you yet? Let's see some real cuts elsewhere first including Ryan and Murray's own wages and perks. Hypocrites they all are.

(A)I’m not a military retiree, and I already told you that. (B) You either don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re jealous of those who are getting their promised benefits. I have no idea which it is. “Bitch” you say? The fact that I cannot work due to my service-connected disabilities makes me a “bitcher” and on par with welfare moochers, is that it? You so-called “conservatives” amaze me at times.
