Veterans were promised these benefits. It’s their security if they come home psychologically or physically maimed. How can there even be discussion about this while the income-challenged get free Obamaphones and young girls are handed birth control and morning-after pills as if they are candy?
Vice Admiral Norbert Ryan: "This program that the Congress did in the backroom is even worse than that. It doesn't grandfather the currently serving to start with, which is a broken promise from the past secretary, Secretary Panetta, and the current chairman of the Joint Chiefs, who both said you should grandfather any changes to the retirement system."
