US Army proposed cuts 30 percent is real low. This is ridiculous. Thank you Dr.

US Army proposed cuts Yes, law enforcement pretty much are guaranteed their pensions unless they do something stupid and get fired (e.g do drugs, shoot someone bad shooting, etc.) Line in the Sand-I have a friend who had a daughter as a Lt in the Coast Guard that was let go after just a few...
