For once, you actually understood my point. However I was not editorializing about the pro or con of the Tricare cuts, only that Howey was in red alert mode over much more minor issues during the Bush administration. The key of course, is that it was the Bush administration. That was the real issue to him. Who was offering the cuts, not what the cuts were.
Was I? What were the "much more minor" issues during that time I was in "red alert mode" over? Because what with all the possibilities agreed to in the above-mentioned deficit agreement, I'd say we (retired military members) made out pretty damn good with our small sacrifice. Especially when some, not me because mine are all free, will be saving money on medications in the new budget, plus more.
