Der Fuehrer’s Cloward - Piven’s effects continue on their path of destruction...

“A domestic peace force just as big and well-funded as the US military...”
That means TWO things:
1. Boost spending on new, weird types of goons
2. Radically cut-back military spending
His plan is the have a new entity that goes around suppressing the US populace —a non-stop SWATting of the whole USA.
It's called lying, sarge and it's always wrong.
They demand that the soldiers who give so much to defend America bend over and get the shaft, but when it come to the post office we are all supposed to bend over and take it up the *$$ for their incompetence and just keep feeding them more of our money!
The commissary and PX system will be gone within 10 years or sooner if the Obama Administration can manage. Replacing them will be Walmart or some other big box discounter who will operate franchises on military installations in much the same way that Burger King operates today.
Savings will be very similar to that seen at the local Walmart, but the selection, service, and conveniences will be less.
You are exactly right.
commissaires do not offer "hefty" savings, not when you consider the 5% and the tipping...not when you take into account that people off base have to travel some good distances to get there...
but they do offer good savings is you're careful....
back when hubby was "in" the area had coupon wars with two different chains offering double and triple coupon savings....it beat the commissary in a heartbeat....
Being one of those old retired farts in the southeast the man is right.
I’ve got 2 Food Lions within two miles of me and two Wal-marts and a Sam’s Club within 3 miles.
The closest Commissary is through a check point and on Ft Bragg seven miles away.
There are still enough good deals out there for us to plan a trip to get a few good items once a month or so.

well so what? big woop You can do better off post anyway at Wally World
you forgot to throw in the fruit & veggies that spoil by the time you get it home...
give the franchise to walmart.
Not in many places overseas you cant.
I have found the same thing. It is not any cheaper to shop at the commissary than it is to shop at HEB. The commissary does have good deals on certain items that we go buy once in a while and occasional sales like the case lot sale that are good deals.
ok I’ll give you overseas
DeCA’s annual appropriation of $1.4 billion
The role of the dice is not just on whether the commissaries will survive, it’s whether the entire system can survive,” including exchanges and the on-base quality-of-life programs that exchange profits now support.
.........I think about leaders like Obama, Hagel, Biden, Pelosi and Reid and then in the same thoughts I remember the final picture of Mussolini and his wife and Hitler’s and Ava’s corpses and the Japs we hung and most recently Hussein.
Two thoughts:
1. Were Hussein, Hitler, Mussolini and the Japs bigger enemies of the American people than Obama, Hagel, Biden, Pelosi, Reid and others are proving to be? You be the judge.
2. “Every dog has his day”.
Try that in Hawaii.
That was the retired MGEN/Director of DeCA who said that, not the SFC.
