Hello Bob,

 LL>> Special Leave for Gay Marriage Travel

 LL>> Week of August 19, 2013
 LL>> Defense Secretary Hagel announced that gay and lesbian
 LL>> members of the military who wish to marry now qualify for
 LL>> up to 10 days of uncharged leave to travel to a state where
 LL>> such marriages are legal.  In addition, the DoD will begin
 LL>> granting full benefits to same-sex couples, including
 LL>> TRICARE, housing allowances, subsistence allowances, and
 LL>> family separation allowances by Sept. 3.

BK>Universal health care would make Tricare irrelevant.

As it should.  However, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare)
is NOT universal health care.  It is an improvement from what
we had before, but even when fully implemented far from what
Americans need and truly deserve.

What exactly do Americans need and truly deserve?  Improved
Medicare for All via single-payer health care.

Notice I did not say Obamacare, Romneycare or Hillarycare.

Leecare is the solution.  Paid for by Bob K. and US taxpayers.

BK>Subsistance allowances are granted to all military above
BK>a certian rank, or were when I was in. I believe it was E3
BK>or E4. Housing allowances are given when base housing is
BK>not available.

Regardless of rank, our men and women in uniform deserve better
than what they get.  What we have today is a mercenary army that
has been brainwashed to think that only they can save the world.
The reality is far different, as it is led by a president who is
a wimp (re: Syria).

BK>IOW, BFD.

That is exactly what President Assad of Syria said about President
Obama's warning not to cross that red line ...
