“Obama’s real goal is not making veterans pay for healthcare. His target are the future officers and soldiers.”
I never thought about it that way, but I think you could be right. Especially, if you combine it with his plan to pay for college for everyone, since the education benefits provided by the military are one of the reasons young people join. But, yeah, if he gradually reduces health benefits, and the education incentive is no longer there, I can definitely see that taking away the reason some people have for joining in the first place.
It’s sad, though. I never really thought Obama cared about the military while he was running for office…but, then I couldn’t figure out why so many military officers (i.e., Webb and then Colin Powell) were supporting him. I’d hate to think there are people out there, people who claim to be patriotic, whose wish is to weaken our country and its military. If this is how our C in C feels, that doesn’t bode well for our country.
