Pisses me off.
Even if it was .001%.
Edit: And when the defense budget is the majority of what we spend in this country anyway I see zero need for a soldier to have to pay anything.
Maybe that's just me.
Do military personnel pay taxes? As it was already pointed out there is nothing taken away. They are changing what they are signing up for, which is in fact different. If they don't like the deal being offered they do not need to take it by enlisting. The issue is if they don't find a way to offset the costs it may simply disappear. Letting great be the enemy of good is a way for things to get really bad.
