1. You were ranting like a lunatic before post 51.

2. There are still no cuts in pay or benefits. For Example: Service members would be offered cash if they are willing to accept reduced health care benefits for their families.

Key words: "offered" and "if willing"

Learn how to read without emotion.

Maybe you should learn a bit about "little" things like morale in the military. It's not enough that almost the entire media is lined up against what they're doing in Iraq--now the very people would should be supporting them are looking to cut benefits. There is so much more in the national budget that deserves to be cut, but like a bunch of Democrats, this bunch of "conservatives" grab their axes and head for the military instead.

And PS, dear hubby had already told me that he'd read the same thing--guess where? Yup, Army Times site. I didn't post it because someone did before I could look it up.

Oh, and one more thing--the "offering" of "cash" will probably not begin to equal the costs of medical care. Tri Care is pretty good as it now stands, but it can still quickly bankrupt a family if a catastrophic illness strikes. This is NOT the way to "support the troops!"
