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.
Except they are not cutting benefits.
