Pay no attention…

To those ‘little’ provisions slipped into the Defense Appropriations Bill…

It’s not enough that they are taking pay from retirees (that they promised to fix)…

NOW they are trying to slip Commissary closures in too…

The budget proposal would reduce the Defense Commissary Agency’s annual budget from $1.4 billion annually to $400 million by 2017, forcing the agency to make major changes — including possible widespread store closures, sources told Military.com. The plan will potentially be included in the Defense Department’s 2015 budget request expected to be released next month.

It’s like they’re judging the response to the pay cut, going hmmm, not much reaction and it got knocked off the front page pretty quick; okay, lets do THIS next… It’s only food, and it’s not like they save that much.  They can make up that 30% by shopping at Walmart…

If this isn’t a declared war on the military and retirees I don’t know what is… This administration has succeeded in turning the military into a social experiment; run senior leadership that didn’t kow tow to the administration out,  loosened rules for everyone except Christians, and are now reducing pay both for active and retirees (BO did a 1.0% raise vice the 1.8% that was recommended).  Their goal IMHO is to make the military so unappealing everyone will avoid service.  And now they are talking about ANOTHER reduction in manning levels, possibly bringing the Army down to 500,000 active…

  1. There is only so much money out there in the budget and do you think that President Obama would have it spent on the military that votes against him or the inner city that votes for him?

  2. The contemptible @#&%^$s. My son in the Army is 42 miles from the nearest WalMart over a narrow two lane highway, about a two hour round trip.
