It isn't "nothing" for the US military - it is a betrayal.
In sequestration, president and Congress undermining military
It hasn’t even started yet. May 1st we will begin to see the effects of sequestration.
I received the following email last night

Subject: A Marine Father Speaks Out!!!: Obama Suspends Tuition Assistance BUT SENDS 250 Million to Thugs!
Of all the Americans who should be heard are the families of their Warriors who are willingly fighting on foreign soil to keep us all safe. I thank God Every day for Great Americans like Dennis and his Brave Son and family. Thanks to this brave Marine's wife, we have quite a group sending care packages to all of these Marines, and that is as it should be. It's the very least we can do!
Below are the words of This Proud Marine Father Whose Son is Serving in Afghanistan. He's outraged, as we all should be!
Hi Beverly,
My son Michael has been using this Tuition Assistance to gain a teaching degree. Now he is deployed over in Afghanistan defending our country, doing what our country asks of him, and his Commander in Chief takes away one of the little benefits they have for serving our country. This is unbelievable. Where is the outcry from our veterans groups? Where is the outcry from all the Americans who have the magnets on the back of their cars stating "We Support Our troops"???? They really just like having the magnets and acting like they do. They should be doing what I did last week, calling the White House, calling my Senators & Congressman and telling them that they should be ashamed for not screaming at the top of their lungs about this. When re-election time comes I will attend their events and ask why. Also "Where is the great Tammy Duckworth on this issue???" Is the media doing there protection again? We have tons of money going to organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood because Obama wants to support them. The Democrats use the excuse that we have done this for years, and have spent billions of dollars even with Republican Presidents. What they leave out is that Egypt is governed totally different now. The people in charge of Egypt now want us, and all of Israel destroyed.
We have billions of dollars to spend on the parasite's that live off of us that work everyday. These parasite's that voted Democrat so that they can keep their inflated union pensions and retire in their 50's with almost full pay and medical coverage. I'm tired of supporting this scum. I watch the news at night and it makes me sick.
What about the news last week regarding "Illegal Aliens" getting Tuition Assistance in some states?
I will pay for my son Michael's tuition. Michael wants to become a history teacher when he leaves the Marine Corp. He told me that America needs Marines to teach or children. He believes that true conservatives need to be in the school system. When I told him the other day that a little 5 year old boy was suspended from school because he chewed his Pop Tart into the shape of a gun he couldn't believe it.
Beverly, I thank God everyday for great Americans like you and your family.
God bless you,
Dennis,
Proud Parent Of A United States Marine.
This is OUTRAGEOUS!!! Obama's War on America: Suspends tuition assistance for our troops, #1 Recruiting tool
This National Disaster in the White House uses and abuses our Troops as he sends our tax dollars to fund the butchers over in Egypt:
Obama administration hit for giving Egypt $250M as domestic spending cuts take hold
This is pure insanity!
There is some element of waste in the military budget too that can be tightened up. You cannot convince me that the military uses its taxpayer provided resources more thriftily that the other wasteful federal agencies.
