That’s 4 presidents in a row who have cut vet benefits.

As for active duty paying part of their treatment and all of their families’ treatment, that’s one of the perks of making a career out of the military. In normal times I’d say Good luck meeting recruiting goals. But these are not normal times and the truth is they’ll just have to suck it up and take it. There are no jobs on the outside.

Speaking of perks, a company matching 401K contributions is part of one’s pay. Then all of a sudden the companies stop contributing. And there’s nothing you can do about.

Dunno 'bout the others, but the VA budget doubled in the 8 years under Bush, and Healthcare more than doubled....as to specifics other than that mebbe you've found a niche in there somewhere that got cut? I couldn't find a cut in the double!
