Ok folks. Here's another good one. I truly believe the folks coming up with these recommendations have never served in uniform and have no idea what military life for our enlisted Servicemembers and families are like? Nor do they understand BAH.

Think tanks don't right laws. Never have never will. By the way this think tank has a lot of Never Trumpers. Some may have ties but this isn't the first time they have tried this kind of crap.

It's a Conservative Think Tank. The same one that came up with RomneyCare when he was governor and other Conservative legislation that has been introduced by Congress and GOP controlled state legislatures. Politicians do not come up with the stuff they introduce into laws on their own; they use political think tanks and lobbyists.

MAJ James Woods - show me proof. I have researched this group and watched them for years. They are Ultra Conservative and whack jobs. Most of what they want never happens. For example shortly after 9/11 they wanted to send all non Israeli middle Easterners back home.

SFC Dave Beran - Sure. Here's one site. And feel free to look up others. Heritage Foundation which the Koch Brothers support and finance is responsible for a lot of Conservative laws in this country at state and federal level.

Original document where Heritage created Obamacare individual mandate

It's ironic that Republicans are so hell-bent on repealing Obamacare's individual mandate as they're the ones who came up with it in the first place.
