As Steve Schippert noted on Facebook:
"Your context: Death benefits of all things were chosen to be cut by Pentagon civilian leadership. Not Congress. No matter how NBC's long report failed to explain this while framing it's report around Democrats saying how awful it is and clips of Republicans vowing to fix it. They tried really hard to leave the impression republicans are to blame when in fact Harry Reid isn't even to blame. It was the appointed civilian leadership who chose that specific program."
Gezackly.
And the President let it happen. When the news hit, a phone call would have stopped it.
The next time Hagel shows up in front of troops, they should just all silently "About Face." Until the CSM or CDR detonates, then they can turn back. The point will have been made.
Pentagon freezes death benefits for fallen soldiers' families
