Military members understand the growing financial difficulty of our nation and the overwhelming need to cut wasteful spending. However;. Lets focus on other areas of "waste" as the average military personnel will be unable to remain in there homes or provide for their families if they are to lose this much relied upon income. ->
•Reducing Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) benefits to require US based service members to pay more out of pocket.
•Reducing Cost of Living Allowances (COLA) for overseas military members.
•Capping pay raises for military and DoD civilians.
•Removing the taxpayer subsidy for military commissaries (which would effectively close commissaries in many places).
•Changing TRICARE benefits for retirees in order to require them to use employer-sponsored health insurance
