https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/dod-downsizing-is-it-worse-than-before-or-just-more-advertised <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would like to hear the experience of Cold war/Golf war veterans and the perception of younger OIF/OEF veterans. It seems to me that every 10 or 15 years the armed forces go through a similar process but this time sounds horrific. Changes in TRICARE, TA, commissaries, etc. are on the internet every day. Is it worst than before or just more advertised?

Big Army learned that after DS/DS that there were too many willing individuals that took advantage and today there is more of a time to clean house mentality.
