Two federal retirement communities for disabled enlisted veterans and some officers face uncertain financial futures unless Congress and the Defense Department take steps to address budget shortfalls, the Government Accountability Office has found.
The Armed Forces Retirement Home, or AFRH, system, which operates senior living facilities in Washington, D.C., and Gulfport, Mississippi, is on a trajectory to deplete its trust fund by 2042 without intervention, according to a report published earlier this month by the watchdog agency.

They have money for Ukraine. And they have 364 billion dollars and the fake and fraudulent inflation reduction act to bribe other countries to go with hardware made in China uses Coal fired power plants to make these components. China is permitting. 2 coal-fired power plants a week. This administration has its priorities to move the backwards.

I just feel I've entered an alternate dimension. This isn't even the country I lived in 5 years ago...let alone grew up in.
We are paying Ukrainian civil servant's wages and can't maintain these two homes? Just crap.
George Jetson was right when he said "...get me off this crazy thing."

As CSM Charles Hayden Passed 7/29/2025 states Kipling was very prescient of veterans flights, especially our older ones. This tells me that all the talk from politicians is just BS and the Gunny at MEPS was right We only matter when we are needed to kill a problem. After that, we've outlived our usefulness.
