This is BS from unpatriotic bastards. Plain and simple. Veterans should not have to sacrifice more after they gave so much for defending America!

The 10 ways Congress is targeting military and veterans’ benefits during today’s difficult fiscal times are to:

Increase healthcare premiums for military retirees on TRICARE

Increase pharmaceutical fees for troops, families and retirees

Eliminate presumptive service-connected conditions for disabled and ill veterans

Lock out or increase fees for Department of Veterans Affairs Priority Groups 7 and 8 veterans

Reduce cost-of-living allowances

Freeze military pay

End government subsidies to military commissaries

Eliminate Department of Defense elementary schools stateside

Eliminate the 20-year military retirement plan

Eliminate DOD tuition reimbursement programs for service members

Eliminate presumptive service-connected conditions for disabled and ill veterans which makes this PTSD win a pig in a poke.

Lock out or increase fees for Department of Veterans Affairs Priority Groups 7 and 8 veterans

IF I understand the formulary, group 7 & 8 are the most expensively ill.

FREEZE MILITARY PAY, they are UNDER PAID for the job now.
