Stop trying to fix the federal budget shortfalls by taking away from the Veterans, the Military, and their families.

Obama has announced he fully accepts the recommendations of a commission to restructure military benefits, which means a pay cut of roughly 20% and a less generous retirement. If President Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel get their way, a typical U.S. Army sergeant stands to lose up to $5,000 in annual benefits, according to a leading veterans group that is mobilizing for battle over the proposed cuts to the retirement, health care and other compensation offered to those who serve.
The proposed budget calls for slashing subsidies for base commissaries that thousands of young military families use for discounted groceries. It also calls for a 5 percent increase in the cost of military housing for average active-duty service members and a cap on active-duty pay increases at 1 percent
