#3 But they've cut military health insurance, right? That affects the special interest groups within the military as well as the rest.

#4 TW, I don't think the cut the military insurance, they are just having them pay a little more of a copay.

#6 I have no problem with an increase in copay, given that I prefer 2012 medicine rather than the 1970s or 1980s medicine at the time of the original commitment by both parties. However, when you add up all the bankrupt 'green' initiatives, you have to wonder if the money had been put towards existing commitments rather than for patronage rewards venture projects, how much would really be needed to offset the increase in expenses for the vets?

#7 DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > AS FOREIGN TROOPS LEAVE, [levels of] AFGHAN REFUGEES AND POVERTY INCREASES.
Situation ascribed as similar to Afghanistan after the Soviet pullout + before the rise of the Taliban to post-Soviet/Najibullah Govt. power.IOW, IFF THE US-NATO ARE NOR CAREFUL, THEIR TROOPS WILL LEAVE IN 2014 ONLY TO HAVE TO COME BACK AGAIN DUE TO THE RETURN OF THE MILTERRS TO POWER???
As affected in Pakistan by ...
* TOPIX > PAKISTAN MAY BE DEPRIVED OF 90% OF US FUNDS, vee the introduction of Rohrabacher-led "Pakistan Terrorism Accountability" legislation before the US Congress.
* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > US BILL TO DEDUCT PAK AID FOR EVERY ISI-CAUSED [American Soldier] DEATH, to the tune of US$50.0Milyuhn per US Death.
* SAME > TIME FOR PAKISTAN TO "MOVE ON" OVER NATO SUPPLY LINES [+ reopen them]:SAYS FOREIGN MINISTER [Khar].
But KHAR still has to get through major internal opposition to reopening the routes.
