Military.com on budget bills impact on servicemen/women and vets.

<snip>

Recently announced bills and proposed budget plans will impact GI Bill benefits and veterans access to VA health care. For example Senate bill S.745 would ensure veteran students would not lose GI Bill benefits during scheduled school breaks and HR 1451 would protect current student veterans from the financial impact of GI Bill 2.0.

In addition, some FY2012 budget proposals include cuts which could result in TRICARE Prime premium and fee increases, limits on access to the VA health care system for 1.3 million vets, and a possible military pay freeze.

1. That is very bad news.

I thought RepubliCONS supported the troops. I guess they just don't want to pay the troops.
