The last thing we need is more people looking for work in the private sector right now.

I could almost hypothesize that the reason they are doing this is because they can.

SERIOUSLY, what are you going to do? vote him out of office?

BAHAHAHAHAHA!

and this is only the beginning, a glimpse of whats on the horizon. 4 years of an Obama with nothing to fear. We are all f'kd.

well no one forced them to sign up...

I have alot of respect for the service men and women but you have to be smart and know that what you are going into and all the angles before you sign on that dotted line. If you dont think you can survive on your pay grade then maybe the armed services isnt for you.

Some of the people who sign up for the military even now sign up just because they have no other option. Theyre too dumb or think theyre too dumb to go to college and/or they just want a free ride through the military. Thats not really the kind of person who would be typically ideal for the service anyways.

But its the same reason that dead beats who work at dead end jobs like serving tables and then turn around and ask for an extra amount above what they are being paid in the form of a tip like they are entitled to it. At least most of the service men and women have paid their dues and have actually done something to somewhat earn it.

A lot of people see the military as stability, they'll always have a job, a roof over their heads, and a consistent paycheck.

My dad a retired Navy vet got free health care. All prescriptions and any out of pocket expense were based off a sliding fee based off his income. That was ten years ago not sure how it works now.

The military has to be cut, both in manpower and in overhead. It's insane how much we spend on the military in this country. Totally insane.

If you are trying to make a partisan issue out of this, give up. It isn't. No matter who is in power in DC, cuts are going to be made. You can get a bit partisan about where those cuts are made and how they go about them if you want. We found out during the Bush years in the middle of a couple of wars where Republicans will cut them. They cut benefits, raised costs to service people, attempted to destroy the VA health care system, and let our injured soldiers come home to roach infested beds.....and then they increased spending more than they cut it. Much more.

Democrats are much less likely to cut benefits drastically. Not because they are better or care more about the military....they aren't and they don't. They simply can't get away with doing as much as Republicans can, because no matter how Republicans screw over people in the military, their supporters keep waving the flag and screaming USA USA USA.....Democrats try that crap and they get their stupid asses handed to them.

Serve in the military--get free healthcare while you are in service honorably, then medicare at 65.
Serve in combat--get free healthcare for life (direct relatives per above).
Die in combat--end of free healthcare (direct relatives for life)
Riding a desk--you are just another federal employee, get over yourself.
