"Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice?"
Supposed remarks made by President Obama regarding the military’s insurance benefits.

The Snopes.com article link, above refutes the article I was sent. Is snopes.com 100% accurate? I wouldn't think so, but I also wouldn't send anything unless I am 100% sure it is true.

It is so important that we keep the facts straight; otherwise those who support Obama can discredit us by the false rumors we circulate about him. God knows there are enough nightmare truths about this administration to keep us busy a long time.

In fact I genuinely wonder if some of the more ridiculous claims don't come directly from the Obama camp. This way, when the time comes and they are genuinely exposed on some serious issue, they can mention all the ridiculous rumors that have been spread and group them all together.

According to snopes, there was a bill proposed that would limit medical benefits paid to service men, but not problems resulting from the line of duty. The spirit of the email does strike me as too close to the truth, for comfort. For the administration to consider taking any benefit from our underpaid, underappreciated service men and women is a travesty. While Congress receives better medical benefits than the armed services right now, not to mention a generous lifelong pension, I wonder why this was even a consideration.

But, in my humble opinion, we need to take the high road and speak the truth and shame the progressives who believe any means are justified by the end-the utopia of socialism.
