Special Ops Vets Slam Military Benefit Cuts

Former members of U.S. special operations forces on Thursday demanded President Obama veto the budget bill Congress just passed, saying that the cuts to military retirement benefits — which even the bill’s authors now admit were a partial mistake — are an insult to veterans.

“As commander in chief, President Obama is the leader of the nation’s armed forces and he has a duty to protect the interests of all military members, both active and retired. He needs to veto the bill,” said Gary Stubblefield, a retired Navy SEAL Commander and chairman of Special Operations for America.

The new budget, which boosts spending in the short term in exchange for longer-term fee hikes and spending cuts, includes a provision that would reduce the cost-of-living adjustment for military retirees to 1 percent less than the rate of consumer inflation — and even reduces payments for veterans who were wounded in action.

  1. All Vet's should never vote for a Democrat again, if Obama signs this bill.

  5. Nice gun! I want one! You other POS's can say what you want, but served is served.

    Yes, I may disagree with current deployments, and even be totally and politically against them, but, served is served and is never to be otherwise.

  7. I think our Vets and our homeboys need to get together sooner than later to organize neighborhood groups as well as connecting with other neighborhood groups that agree to watch out for each others homes.
    The word "Militia" comes to mind.

  8. Maybe this will put a little fire under their butts to join/form militias in their communities. The only way we're going to take back America.

  10. 1:21 You be the one that's the fool, nobody will remember the names of congressman that voted for the cut, but the vets won't forget who the president was at the time and signed the bill into law you fool. Maybe you should revisit your Civic/history class.
