Words fail me to express my anger towards the author of this article. Sadder is the more that 26K likes this article has received.WASHINGTON -- For more than a decade, Congress and the Pentagon have lavished money on the nation's 1.3 million active-duty troops and their families. Salaries and benefits soared far above civilian compensation, military bases and housing were refurbished, support services like day care, family counseling and on-base college courses were expanded.
Now comes the reckoning. These personnel costs, necessary and warranted for those bearing the burden of war, are threatening to wreck the military, squeezing the accounts meant to fix or replace gear worn from a decade of war, for research and development, and for new missions in, say, Africa
How quickly people forget. If it was Sep 12 2001 and this man publish this, he would have been drug through the streets.
I have to stop now before I violate the forum rules.
