Trump Rejects Pentagon's Plan to Cut $2.2B in Military Healthcare

U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected a Pentagon proposal to cut military healthcare by $2.2 billion.

Politico reported on Sunday that Pentagon officials working on Defense Secretary Mark Esper's cost-cutting review of the U.S. Defense Department had proposed slashing military healthcare by $2.2 billion.

"A proposal by Pentagon officials to slash Military Healthcare by $2.2 billion dollars has been firmly and totally rejected by me. We will do nothing to hurt our great Military professionals & heroes as long as I am your President," Trump said in a tweet late Monday.

The Deep State on uniform doing what they are told by their MILLION dollar lobbyists. The healthcare system. More of the Obama administration healthcare brigade. Paper GENERALS with deep pockets.

Anyone who has ever served knows what a cesspool the Pentagon really is. A gaggle of old worn out officers who should have been dead years ago. They're NOT there because of the tactical and administrative prowess they possess, but the superior ass-kissing skills they exhibit to the other empty heads (Congress & Senate) they get close to. The average retirement they get for Generals rank is over $100,00.00. Most of them don't realize when they fart.
Don't worry, the Cavalry is coming. Those dumb bastards are going to get theirs when Trump wins. A purge is coming of all the worthless shit who is in there and against the President. I'd say he won't forget and I don't blame him. The traitors to him can't be trusted and they'll be on a one-way trip to either home or Hell because they won't be able to take it. No one to wipe their decrepit asses wearing a smile.
If you think I'm wrong then I present to you Colin Powell who was just a battalion Sgt. Major when I served. He was the product of 'white' Presidents and Senators who were affirmative action minded. Look how grateful he is now. What a natural behind the skirmish line ass.
Hard to fool the man who was there.

Corporations lobby Congress for political favors and embezzlement opportunities with the Treasury.

The Corporations are owned by the international banking families who own the Central Banks.

The Deep State runs the government for the Bankers.

Get it?

We need to slash military spending, not healthcare. The military spends billions on planes and tanks that just sit in hangars unused for years until they're unusable. It's literally just flushing money down the drain.

Those "dumb bastards" work for Trump now and have for years. Why would anything change if he were re-elected?
