Would you survive if they ditched BAH and BAS and instead added a new, perhaps smaller, allowance?

It could work, but current servicemembers should retain their present set of benefits, since many have already made long term budget commitments off of them. Unfortunately, as we've seen with retirement pay, that likely wouldn't be the case.

I am not sure if it would be good or create more issues, look how long BAH has been in effect, almost 20 years, and before that, VHA which also was around even longer.
This seems like a backdoor new way to cut funding even more for what is needed for enlisted, especially junior to be able to live somewhat affordably for their families.
