President Obama stated Monday that he would support a 20% pay reduction for retiring military personnel as well as redefining benefits for those that leave before achieving 20 year of service. So it’s only a matter of time before these recommendations are realized.
Obama has been cutting natural born citizens out of the military while simultaneously hiring illegal immigrants. He has also been ending highly successful military programs and allowing different components the military to simply degrade, prompting the Washington Times to state that Obama has our decimated our military, leaving the US only ‘marginally able’ to defend itself.
How does President Obama explain his intentions?
After the jump, see insights reported in the Washington Times article, including excerpts from Obama’s message to Congress:

I think your retirement should be cut fifty percent. No security maybe one person with no guns. You have been the worst
Pres. Ever. You have stolen plenty on
Sure.
Really. ..why don’t you take some of your money and give it to the military. .I don’t see you risking your life
Hell no I don’t agree on this for our men !!!!!!!!!!!!
this $#%&!@* needs to be flushed
Thanks commander and chief we have no respect for u
Daniel Dobbins, YOU are a clueless lamebrain. The PRESIDENT can’t do this! It is republicans in CONGRESS who are blocking pay raises for the military, increased funding for VETERAN’S BENEFITS and all the other NASTY stuff for which you ignorant idiots are blaming the PRESIDENT. Get your facts straight – you are sucking up propaganda vomited out by right-wing fanatics who want to kick all ordinary Americans in the teeth. HE is not getting rich from LOBBYISTS – but how else could a REPUBLICAN congressman, am$#%&!@* a fortune of 24 million dollars in a 18-year period? THINK! Before you make yourself look foolish.
Jerk
cut the Military retirement yet spend millions on lavish vacations
I think we would save more by cutting all politicians pay by 20%. Also make it mandatory drug testing to get welfare. Also make it so only citizens can get welfare. Now we are talking about some savings to help with the 18 trillion dollar deficit.
