Miliary Benefits Are Disappearing

Let me get this straight, an alleged Military retiree gets a better health care deal than civilians who retire but he has no evidence just a feeling that "congress" is out to cut his benefits? Ask the freaking president or that dummie who leads the majority in the senate if they plan to cut Military benefits. Nobody knows what's going on in health care because nobody read the gigantic law that democrats managed to pass in the middle of the night. Nancy Pelosi told Americans "you will find out what's in it after it is passed".
 
Well, if you're insinuating that all or even most Vietnam vets are somehow "scamming" or abusing the VA system...
I did not insinuate that.

and most vets I've come into contact with who scam the system are all mostly NON combat vets.

and all combat is not equal. and we all know that lots of vets play the service related fuck up game.

be honest. it's all about the money. follow the money

You really are one dumb ignorant cock sucker.

I thought it was just me, but I have met a lot of other military retirees who feel the same way I do about having served for 20 years, which is to say we feel like the world's biggest suckers.

The promises that were made to us are being broken. The "free medical" is not free. If you don't live near a VA hospital, you enroll in Tricare. And Tricare has insurance premiums just like any other health insurance. Sure, it is currently cheaper than a civilian health insurance plan, but there is a movement underway in Congress right now to triple our premiums, and that would demolish any cost advantage to serving 20 of the youngest years of your adult life for medical benefits.

They are also going to do away with the military pension. The reasoning at first sounds logical. A guy who serves four years of active duty who gets sent to combat does not get any kind of retirement plan. A guy who serves 20 years who never went to combat gets a paycheck for the rest of his life.

So the idea is to create a kind of 401-k plan. If you serve only four years, you have a little nest egg when you get out.

But think about that for a minute.

You join the service and after 20 years you get a health benefit identical to a civilian's health benefit. Except you get shot at. And you get paid less.

You join the service and you get a 401-k, just like a civilian. Except you get shot at, and you are paid less.

Why would I join the military?

Oh. Yeah. Patriotism.

Sure.

Republicans call benefits "socialism". Tax cuts for billionaires is much more important.
 
What you posted is your opinion and hear say not facts bitch.

The only thing you know about Combat Vets is that you are not one.
Everything you say is logical in the delusional world you inhabit.
In the real world it is just the gibberish of an idiot.

Excuse the fuck out of me, what did I say that was delusional? you agree with Dante?:doubt:

I was directing my comments at that panty waste Dante.
Sorry for the confusion.
I was a Grunt in Vietnam with the 1st Bn 4th Marines Northern I Corps 67-68
