#3 In a surprise move, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced that the Pentagon had reached an agreement with Fisher House Foundation

A convenient 'cover for action'. A simple phone call to the DoD bugeteers instructing them to REPROGRAM funding would have done the trick. We somehow recently found $300m to give to Detroit. These are the actions of committed leftist ideologues, nothing more.

Hagel and the senior uniformed leadership of DoD should be relieved and FIRED for cause !

#4 Hagel's announcement came slightly more than an hour after the House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill, 425 to 0, to restore the benefits and sent it to the Senate

Amazing coincidence, no?

#7 Pentagon has confirmed it will not pay death benefits to the families of troops killed in combat during the so-called government shutdown.

Keep digging, Obumble.
