Excerpt:

"The Pentagon hopes to reap billions of dollars to pay for ships, aircraft and other weapons by doubling or tripling health insurance premiums paid by military retirees and driving 600,000 of those pensioners out of the military medical system, charges a coalition of veterans’ organizations."

This is pretty disturbing on several levels.

3. Don't kid yourselves

those poor young military personel don't have high priced fancy lobbyists doting on the Congress on their behalf. The friends of the gop have got to make money off this war one way or another. The gop dosn't give a shit about the soldier, marine etc
