I hope people like that Megan Kelly, even when playing the most annoying devil’s advocate will address the truth, for a change, an important factor, here.

This is about a contract, and breaking the contract.

The government signs a contract guaranteeing these active duty certain money that they count on.

They are taking that promise back. They are, and according to Hugh Hewitt, a Harvard educated, practicing lawyer, breaking that contract, an act that no corporation would do without losing the law suit.

The military has to operate on a code of law, honesty, transparency and not breaking promises. The congress is in charge of the military, the citizens are in charge of congress.

The military work for the citizens, under the authority of the congress and the command of the CIC.

When the military makes a contract with a recruit or an officer, it is bound by the same honor the military guy is expected to uphold. When the citizens break that contract, by allowing congress to do so, there is a major breech of trust, never before experienced.

This is about reneging on the contract breaking trust and also taking money away from the military guy who budgeted that money.

When the congress says it’s not in the budget, it just means they lied to the new recruit in the contract, promising money that was not budgeted for.

The military guy is not the pawn Ryan thinks he is.

It is one thing fro dems to be backstabbing, but the republicans are now doing it and a republican led house taking advantage of those who have no voice, no real representation

And the military will be right in blaming the American citizens for allowing the congress, who work for them to do this theft. Sleazy sleazy shameful theft and breech of contract.

It will have long lasting repercussions.

“This is about a contract, and breaking the contract”

Governments are not bound by contracts. When will people start understanding that simple fact? Never, apparently.

The citizens are definitely NOT in charge of congress, at least the productive citizens with moral compasses.

The American citizen needs to replace politicians literally down to the local dog catcher level in order to root out all of the nest featherers, “progressives” and outright communists.

People comment this (COLA cuts) will hurt retention and morale. That’s the whole freaking point. Out with the old, in with the new. You have to rotate the military over to “correct thinkers” for the oligarchy.

My personal “nut job conspiracy theory” is that Obama is in there specifically because it was thought he could pull off the most control oriented BS before a big financial/societal reset occurs.

The bad guys get ONE SHOT at their techno-authoritarian utopia and they know they need to have the majority of the remaining constitutional individualists sewn up before any sort of social crap hits the fan. If they have 5-10 years of unfettered politics as they are currently going, they win.

Any Republican that even utters the word compromise should find themselves flipping burgers. We need roll backs. We need a crop of politicians who spend a whole 1 or 2 election cycles just going through law, code and statute and hacking out all the crap.

There are many things in life that outrage us, everyday. But for the life of me, I simply cannot understand why Paul Ryan and the rest of Washington seems to take such delight in pulling out the rug from disabled military veterans.

1. Not only did Paul Ryan make the "mistake" of including disabled military while jamming through his December budget deal, he said it would be "fixed"

2. He went on Hugh Hewitt yesterday and bragged that he was voting for the $1.1 Trillion monstrosity that included screwing our military out of their full promised pensions because it "helps our disabled veterans"

3. We now found out that this is untrue - tens of thousands of disabled veterans and retired are NOT covered, because those who had completed their length of service contracts and were then injured or fought to have their disability investigated by the Veterans Administration (and won) are not exempt from the "fixed" law

I have seen many betrayals from Washington in my many years, but this is perhaps the worst I have ever seen.
