The House on Thursday passed legislation sponsored by former A-10 pilot Rep. Martha McSally, R-Ariz., that bars the military from using its many troop bands to entertain at dinners, dances and social events.

They are not doing away with the bands entirely, just limiting where they can play at. So at the end of the day just how much of that $500 million are they really saving?

Exactly, keeping the bands but limiting play just increases the cost per event and makes it a cush job with less to do.

Bet they got the $500 mm figure by adding up total cost all inclusive for the year. This is just more smoke and mirrors feel good crap by the congresswoman. Another show for the sheeple. They come from both sides of the stinking aisle.
