1. It's a lie. Recommendations for cuts are coming from the Pentagon, the the WH.

2. That's what's going around--my husband just got that

(in article form with the same headline, not a lolz thing) from someone at work. I think it's a coordinated smear campaign.

3. Remind them, using the RWer's argument ...

the "cuts" in either are "cuts" to the automated increases in their budgets.

I heard a RW drone talking about that the other day on the radio. "What the liberals are whining about are the cuts to the automatic increases in budgets for entitlements!"

5. It's about DoD-recommended increases in Tricare fees and prescription co-payments

Wingnuts are spinning it to make it appear that the changes are being imposed on DoD by the White House.

4. I'd rather go to Iraq than watch 'Judge Judy.'

Just a joke. Settle down, folks.

6. For you lurking freeper keyboard commandos

Here is an excerpt from the MOAA (Military Officers Association of America) article, the emphasis is mine:

MOAA has no problem with doing studies to review possible retirement changes,” Ryan said. “But the military retirement system is the single most important incentive to serve a military career. It’s especially important to note that when Congress passed cuts to military retirement in 1986, the changes had to be repealed a decade later after they harmed retention and readiness.

Your precious fellow chicken hawk ronney raygun, with newtie in charge gutted military benefits for the likes of General Dynamics, Boeing, Northrop et al.

Military benefits were cut under raygun and restored by President Clinton.

You dumbasses claim to support the troops, but all you support are those who use them as a disposable campaign backdrop.

7. What are these "welfare increases?"

What can you do when someone persists in their alternate reality? Other than ask them to get specific on the welfare increases.
