But don't worry, the deficit commission also recommends cuts to military spending!
For example, freezing soldier pay.

But don't worry, that will count as a cut to defense spending when it comes time to tell us proggies to keep our mouths shut.

5. Is that so?
I suspected as much but I didn't see it while I was (briefly) perusing the proposal. Do you have a news source on that, because if so, I'd love to read it. Or did you just see it in the proposal?

7. Of course nothing would surprise me less.
They're always trying to get out of their obligation to take care of the people they break in their wars.

8. They're very predictable in their trashing of troops, active and inactive.
But we're supposed to believe they "support" them.
