Caretakers for our wounded warriors will be cut back, our wounded are likely to suffer from neglect ..

     Yes; and Marines, serving daily in combat will get no more hot meals; they will have to subsist on MREs from now on ..  http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/05/31/18592339-the-drawdown-diet-marines-steamed-by-loss-of-hot-meal-at-afghanistan-base?lite
 
   Cut the troops...but
A)  the free cell phones are still being issued by the millions..
B)  The multi million dollar vacations continue...
C) And the celebrity functions continue at our expense..unabated..just to mention a few wasteful things

i saw my first obama phone today
at the grocery store. the lady in front
of me dropped it and pieces flew every
which a way. i bent to help pick it up
and said sorry or something like that
and she said it wasn't a big deal, it was
a free government phone and she would
just get another.

If you read the article you will find that the guys getting shorted are when they are on combat patrol from midnight until noon the next day.  After a stressful night a hot meal would be welcome..especially in the winter. 
     I may be too much a vet and patriot.. but I don't think our combat troops or wounded troops should be shorted anything..in favor of White house parties, free phones for crack dealers or multi-million dollar vacations..sometimes just for the kids.
