That is true, however, I am speaking more of the first Congress during the Clinton administration, which, from 1992-1994 DID push for more cuts in the military.
Besides, I'm not the first person who mentioned it in terms of the administration.
And, like everyone else is saying, there's nothing really NEW going on. It's not as if Tricare has been cut (it's pretty bad anyway compared to our private insurance), the housing allowance has been cut (in fact, in some areas it has increased), and they still don't have to pay income taxes. I see no problem with paying for one's hospital meals and for one's elective trips.
