I’m disappointed that the military is one of the first in line to be hit by sesquestration! Wouldn’t you have thought our elected officials in D.C. would offer to forgo a raise, slim some of their benefits, bonuses, and porky fat before they allowed this to happen to those who serve and sacrifice for our country? Assistance with the cost of education has been a drawing factor in encouraging some of our best youth to enter the military for many years. Read the following article from Stars and Stripes for the facts, and the comments afterward make for some interesting reading too.
