Here is another contract that Obama wants to break.
This is a new tax with another name.

Democrats Plan Attack On Military Retiree Health Benefits
By Thomas D. Segel

This amounts to a new $3,425 annual out of pocket cost for all military retirees with wives plus $525 more per child.

That sure looks like, feels like and smells like a new and targeted tax on what can hardly be described as a high-income community.

I am willing to make sacrifices for my country. And professional soldiers are willing to be point men.

It is more appropriate for Obama, Congress and their families to lead the way on this one.
Members of Congress and the Executive Branches, including their families, enjoy the most generous health care packages in America, including full access to the military health care system for free.

So far Obama and his minions have been on a one-way street.
Where, when and how will the President, his staff and cabinet, Congress, and all their family members begin making sacrifices by accepting the need to, and passing legislation to pay for some of their benefits?
