In roman times if the army felt like they were being ripped off the soldiers would revolt and threaten to march on Rome.

There is one more we could add:

6. Hagel furloughed nurses at Walter Reed, but exempt politically correct counselors from pay loss huck Hagel to exempt DOD sex assault prevention workers from furloughs

While nurses that cared for our combat wounded at Walter Reed and countless other facilities were furloughed and lost 20% of their paychecks, Hagel exempted Sexual Assault Prevention workers, who were going around installation to installation, preaching a PC mantra. This was an incredible Machiavellian approach, and destructive to the DoD workforce.
