Who else has been cut? unions? who? who was cut the most and cut first? veterans and military! not only cuts but taking away their insurance in some cases and trying to force others off tricare for life or pay UP...hits the elderly veterans and the young. Has congress been cut? has Obama been cut? who has faced the biggest hit?

teachers, retirees, first responders and others have been hit for years (for example,my wife is a teacher and her premiums for healthcare and pension have gone up while she hasn’t gotten a raise in years).

In the private sector benefits have been getting more and more expensive for years and years but provide less and less, if they even exist anyomore. Try getting a plan without deductibles or a pension in the private sector unless you have a really high paying job. A lot of people are lucky if they even get health insurance.

Sorry, but veterans aren’t immune to budget cuts. People here have no problem cutting everyone else’s benefits but shriek like little girls when their own benefits are slashed.
