Patriotic Federalist

Very short quiz that is very accurate on where you stand in politics.

Example:

According to your answers, the political group that agrees with you most is…

Conservatives tend to favor economic freedom, but frequently support laws to restrict personal behavior that violates “traditional values.” They oppose excessive government control of business, while endorsing government action to defend morality and the traditional family structure. Conservatives usually support a strong military, oppose bureaucracy and high taxes, favor a free-market economy, and endorse strong law enforcement.

Military Retiree Cuts “No Big Deal” to this douche bag KorbCob

No need to read his propaganda, its just regurgitating any anti-military diatribe you have ever heard to justify screwing the one group of people we should avoid hurting at all costs.

Great Reply to the bullcrap though:

Hmm where do I start with a dumbass anti-military article like this.  First, the military, retiree or otherwise, should be the last thing these turds cut.  Cut their own retirement, the freebies for the illegals, or the kickbacks to the states.
This cutting the military BENEFITS that were EARNED absolutely breaks faith with the military.  Doesnt matter if only 20% retire, we all understand you dont screw people over for something they earned just because their numbers are small. If that were the case we could go ahead and cut further into their retirements using your logic.
Working age, again you say its ok to screw the guys that are working age because of the ass-hat assumption that this is somehow okay in your book.  Their age should have nothing to do with how congress (and folks like you justifying it) screw someone over.
I don’t know what pot smoke filled room you wrote this garbage in, but NOTHING was given to retirees over the last decade, what little they received its all EARNED.  The COLA you mention is crap, it always lags inflation and active duty.  Retirement erodes over the years because the COLAs approved suck.  An 0-5 that retires now will make much less than an 0-5 that retires 20 years later.  Tircare sucks, many doctors will not take it and many only can afford to take a few at the pitiful rates Tricare pays them.  Now the rates all went up to thanks to Husseincare. Retirements are taxed, both federal and in many cases state levels.  This further decays what small retirement is received.
You need to go back to clown school or come see me and Ill slap some reality into your anti-military ass.

Bleeding Talent: How the US Military Mismanages Great Leaders and Why It’s Time for a Revolution

This book will shape the debate on how to save the military from itself. The first part recognizes, indeed celebrates, what the military has done well in attracting and developing leadership talent. The book then examines the causes and consequences of the modern military’s stifling personnel system, with a close look at strategic failures in Iraq and Afghanistan. The book also reports a new survey of active duty officers (done by the author) that reports what is driving the best and brightest to leave the service in frustration. Solutions round out the book, grounded in an economic emphasis on market forces.
