Trying to Short Change the Troops
 
“Wanting the troops to carry their own insurance to cover
their combat injuries” !

By Aaron Cantor (USAF ret)

 
Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki, with Obama
 
The unbelievable pile of human feces that currently occupies the White House is at it again.
On 17 August, 2009 I wrote a column exposing Obama’s idea for wanting the troops to carry their own insurance to cover their combat injuries and the fact that retired four star general Eric Shinseki who was Secretary of Veterans Affairs didn’t seem to have any objections but blew it off by saying: “it was just a consideration as a way to increase revenue as part of next year’s budget, but no decision has been made yet.”
Obama complained at the time saying: “Look it is an all volunteer force and nobody made these guys go to war, they had to have known and accepted the risk. Now they are whining about bearing the cost of their choice? It doesn’t compute.”
“I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country, I wasn’t asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in it’s history, I’d have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nations deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans.”
This information came from a syndicated columnist of the McClatchey newspaper organization at the time.
Fast forward 27 May, 2011, according to Reuters, READ MORE HERE

      How about they stop whining about bearing the cost of their choices that have bankrupted all of us! They need to start paying for their own health care too. Their job is also volunteer, no one makes them run for congress, they need to have all their benefits squashed. Then the extra vacations and paid holidays, fringe benefits “WE” allow them to have should be revoked.

      Then give me a reason they are worth a 6-7+ figure income yearly over the blue collar worker, one that actually produces and has to physically work in deplorable conditions, like no air conditioning, 12+ hrs, odd ball shifts, 10 min breaks, 30 min lunch, timed production. It would be a lot of money saved yearly if they would cut out all of theirs. I am for sure with a seven figure income they can afford to pay theirs better than we can with a 2 figure income.

      I think it is because we are doing the jobs they refuse to do…its certainly not their education level especially when you see they cant even balance a budget.

      I Bet we would have a major health care reform immediately if they had to follow the same rules as we do and provide their own insurance.

      A single woman I know is making $15,000 yearly (or less)and she is having to pay $300.00 a month in premiums and get this a $5000.00 deductable, no co-pay. Then on top of that the insurance company decides if you are sick or not when you need to use it.

      We are tired of being the sheeple. they should have to switch shoes with us and walk in ours a while. There is no reason anyone in this world should be homeless, hungry or denied health and dental care ever, those are basic human rights.

      I often wonder if they have ever thought what it would be like without all of us useless eaters, who will do their sheeple work?

      They will be in trouble when they have to live like we do, they cant all be chiefs, some will still have to be the indians. Then it will be a battle of the alamo for sure.

      Take away their greed and there is plenty of land, water, and resources to distribute a fair amount to all, including the animals, for many lifetimes.
