Tea Party After My Groceries Too!

[BlueStreak]

"Many active-duty personnel and retirees contend that their compensation and benefits are well-deserved, given the risks and strain associated with a military career. “We’re not overpaying these folks by any measure. We’re not giving them a sweetheart deal on health care,” said Norb Ryan, a retired vice admiral who runs the Military Officers Association of America, a 380,000-member organization that lobbies on behalf of active and retired personnel. “We owe it to them because they’ve put in decades of extraordinary sacrifice on behalf of our nation.” "

Ummmm..................................

I'm going to stick my neck out here.

We owe them everything from a twice monthly check for life to healthcare for life to cheap groceries for life? Who else gets anything even close to that? Not to mention the attitude that if you suggest reducing any of these costs or cutting military costs in any way that you're "weakening America", you "hate the troops" and a whole list of other insulting, derogatory catch-phrases? When are these people going to realize that "We the People", who PAY for all of this have NO SUCH SWEET DEAL from our employers. Nobody. Not even the hated UAW or public unions.......... Heck, our bosses don't get this.

Yes, Admiral, you DO get a "sweetheart deal". So, shut up.
