The Bush adminstration is going even further than sending American soldiers around the world fighting shadows and boogeymen and is now working hard to cut way back on the services (not to mention pay) that the soldiers receive back home:

Commissaries and the Defense Department’s stateside schools are in the crosshairs of Pentagon budget cutters, and military advocates, families and even base commanders are up in arms.

Defense officials notified the services in mid-October that they intend to close 19 commissaries and may close 19 more, mostly in remote areas.

At the same time, the Pentagon is finishing a study to determine whether to close or transfer control of the 58 schools it operates on 14 military installations in the continental United States.

The two initiatives are the latest in a string of actions by the Bush administration to cut or hold down growth in pay and benefits, including basic pay, combat pay, health-care benefits and the death gratuity paid to survivors of troops who die on active duty.

The roots of all these efforts reach back to the highest levels of the Defense Department.

Bravo, dubya, Bravo. Let's teach those sons of bitches that they should have never been willing to sacrifice themselves to protect their country by sending them off to defend oil interests and your own personal pride and then butt-rape them when they come back by jacking their pay and their kids' educations. That's just fan-fucking-tastic. That's what that is.

When will they learn the best thing to do is get their daddies to sign 'em up for the air national guard and then go AWOL like you did?

...whew, sorry about that folks...a little sarcasm overload.
