#1 ... and health costs associated with an all-volunteer force.

Not to mention that like all government programs, the percentage of retirees is growing into a major portion of DoD health care. Tricare Prime payments which were levied to cover some of that expanding expense haven't increased in the last decade though demand on services has. Although, delayed compensation for poor pay in the 70s and early 80s was part of the sell on the side of the government, like states and other pension programs, the boys playing with the books and budget never really got around to committing what was necessary to cover future costs to include DoD medical commitments. Now DoD is doing its best to off load as much as the program as possible though various referral processes that features all the things people were warned about with Obamacare. It is the canary in the mine.
