America’s men and women in uniform – many of whom have risked their lives in service to their country – are now being stripped of once-guaranteed college benefits as the Obama administration seeks to ensure citizens feel the pain of its loss in the sequester battle.

It’s just the latest move in a series of Obama administration actions that have chipped away at the U.S. military’s size, strength and benefits structure – and drastically changed the face of the most powerful fighting force in the world.

The U.S. Army, Air Force and Marine Corps have now halted their tuition assistance programs after across-the-board federal spending cuts went into effect March 1. The suspension applies to all components, including Reserve and National Guard personnel on active-duty orders. The U.S. Navy is also expected to deliver a similar announcement soon. The cuts do not affect G.I. Bill benefits.

I saw today that this was the front-page story in the Army Times. It's not going over well with the troops.

Not going over well with me either.!!. (vet)!

Did you see that article recently how they want to draft 18 yr old women also!!!! No human is meant to be part of the killing machine let alone Un-Constitutional War!!



by the way Rose, like all the artwork!

I'm a vet, too. If they come for my daughter, they'll have to go through me first.

That's exactly my feeling too, I'm protecting a 19 yr old son, the youngest.

Ha! I'm glad they don't come off as silly, but those little cartoons do a great job of communicating some very serious sentiments in upbeat ways.

I know who will win in the end, but enduring all these encroachments and what we all know is coming can be hard on a daily basis. It's good to find little things that put a lift in our shoe (like Delfi's wonderful smilies).

What does the scripture say? That the saints will need endurance, and that we should rejoice because this is the day the Lord has made. Every day. Endurance and rejoicing.
