Explain sending pink slips to troops on the battlefield while asking for billions at the border.

Created by C.L. on July 11, 2014

In a stunning display of callousness, the Defense Department has announced that thousands of soldiers — many serving as commanding officers in Afghanistan — will be notified in the coming weeks that their service to the country is no longer needed.
Last week, more than 1,100 Army captains — the men and women who know best how to fight this enemy because they have experienced multiple deployments — were told they’ll be retired from the Army.

Yet the administration asks for billions not for our troops but for the illegal immigrants at the border. Our troops put their life on the line while our government plays politics.
