Just keep screwing with the military Obama, just keep screwing with the military and suffer the consequences.
This is such an obscure little thing in the whole of the massive mess that is the government. What sick, sadistic, hateful, spiteful mind identified this humanitarian benefit, given in respect of soldiers who have given their lives and left loved ones behind, to be taken away?
Who? What evil bastard found this shameful despicable sinful thing to do? We know who authorized it OBASTARD authorized it.
Obastard is purging the flag ranks of anyone who is not a toady and will not do as he demands. Same thing Stalin did and the same reason coups are led by Colonels.
I hope he just keeps pushing. We deserve it as long as we will put up with it.
$100,000 dollars is a mere pittance compared with the government expenditures. I hope the military is as furious as I am.
Disgusting, vindictive, vengeful, hateful, sorry, despicable, and a bunch more that I dare not type.
No, it’s an intentional attempt to incite violence on the part of the “right wingers”.
A tactic once understood is no longer a tactic.
Congress swears that they are going to fix this tomorrow. But if they don’t, it will be up to us to assist the Collins family to retrieve their brave Lance Corporal from Dover AFB.
Our Marine family has donated through this Marine Parents website: https://marineparentsinc.com/assist.asp
Withholding promised assistance from new Gold Star families is just plain evil, and mean.
They’ve hit a new low inside the Beltway, just when you thought they couldn’t sink any lower with their scorched earth politics. Shameful.
The only thing I see coming out of this is the uniting of the largest voting block in the us ... the veteran (and current military). Nothing unites veterans of diverse political beliefs than to be under attack ... part of our nature and training.
check this our and tigerized comment at number 7
I haven’t verified this yet, but thought I might pass it on
Fisher House is helping the families cover the costs; I tried a donation tonight but had some issues. It may be that you need to set up a profile/account first. I’ll try again tomorrow if it didn’t go through as I don’t want to get double billed and put my card over it’s balance.
Untrue; even a perfectly understood tactic might not be counterable.
Here’s the article from Marine Times:

And the one from Rhinoden:

I’d say our CIC has really stepped in it big time, this time.
He hates the military except insofar as it provides him limitless opportunities to murder as many Americans as he can.
Priorities!
In the Rhinoden article, they spoke of a Million Vet march to DC on the 13th regarding the Memorials. Isn’t the 11th the Truckers Protest? The sleeping giant is stirring.
Best way to diminish the military, keep them in no win situations (Afghanistan) or putting them in harms way in wars we have no business getting involved with (ME and Africa).
Bring our troops home and use them only when and where the US is directly threatened.
Every tactic can be countered, once understood. Even an ambush. There are only so many tactics, probably less than two dozen. The rest are dressed up derivatives and subgroups.
I hope that every veterans hall throughout the country is just buzzing with this story. Vets, if you belong to a VFW, bring this up in your conversations.
Mothers of vets, tell all your friends. If you go to the beauty parlor, tell the women there. Spread the word.

True, but understanding it doesn't mean one is able to counter it. Understanding is a necessary condition, not a sufficient condition.
