Oh, pleeze don't pull the military card on me...
That was just the best analogy that I could think of off-hand.
I had 6 uncles that served in WWII, 2 in Korea, 1 cousin in Vietnam, and 2 in Desert Storm.
My step-father-in-law was career military.
Congress can and does change benefits and the military is justifiably upset:
