They probably think "I need to talk to my congressman because they're the ones who actually determine military pay, not my particular service. What the Army does with the money they're appropriated by that same congress is for the Army to decide. If putting a winner, who publicly supports the troops, out in front of the American public at large puts a positive light on all military does and encourages others to join, then good for them."
Actually, one particular Congresswoman from Minnesota is now proposing to cut Veterans Disability payments.I am a major supporter of all the people in our military. I agree that some wild hair politician found out about this and decided to run with it. But, I do believe that regardless whether it's the auto racing sponsorships by the military or other outrageous things that the government supports they all need to be looked at closer than ever. We are in a changing time and what was good yesterday may or may not be good for us today. I think the first thing that should be looked at by our wonderful politicans is the benefits they receive that none of us know about and cost us a bunch of money, but, they are not going to do anything that takes benefits away from themselves - the take aways are only from their constituents, who put them into office.
I assure you, republicans will not shut off aid to the largest recipient, Israel.Maybe they should cut off all the foreign aid. That might be a step in the right direction. Take care our people before we take care of someones elses.

democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=330747Not too much to say. I suppose we can save a few bucks if Bachmann gets her way and cuts the vets disability funds.Perhaps they support giving aid to Israel for reasons other than buying votes. Such as helping our strongest middle-eastern ally in its' neverending struggle to remain a democratic nation in the face of tens of millions of religious fanatics whose entire purpose in life is to see that doesn't happen.
Memo to Greg Moon: I'll say this quietly: it ain't just the Republicans, buddy...
We're gettin' way too political here. Schumacher and Newman get to keep their Army sponsorships; McCollum's political ploy failed. The system worked; the proposal was defeated in a 2 to 1 bipartisan vote. What else is there to say?
expenses.That would be a good call, total Waste of $$$!
Neither has Obama....
I hate politicians.
