I mean you can ignore that it was purely a parliamentary change and that if it wasn't mandatory then next year they gop could pull the funding...or any year they want.  That's why "support the troops" is in quotes.  The gop pays lip service to the the troops but doesn't really care what happens to them after they are useful to the war machine.  So they had a little hissy fit of literally nothing more than making sure the money would go to what the bill was for.

Pretty clear stuff really.
