It seems that this is exactly what the bush admin. and the republicans in congress would like to do.
Who do the bush admin. and republicans that love them want to screw more than anyone else on this earth? (Well, other than the people living in the lands with the oil neocons think they should own…)
Who else but the military that they send off to die in a war for oil.

In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, President Bush and Republicans in Congress have refused to consider rolling back the $336 billion in new tax cuts that the richest 1 percent are slated to get over the next five years. They say we need to pay for reconstruction not by asking the wealthiest to sacrifice just a little bit, but by massive cuts to spending. And now we see what that means: The Navy Times today reports that those cuts “include trimming military quality-of-life programs, including health care.” This, while troops are in battle.
The Republicans have put their cutting efforts in military terms, calling it “Operation Offset” – a further insult to the men and women in uniform they are now trying to screw over. The specifics are ugly. They are, for instance, asking troops to “accept reduced health care benefits for their families.” Additionally, “the stateside system of elementary and secondary schools for military family members could be closed.” In the past, this idea “has faced strong opposition from parents of children attending the schools because public schools [in and around bases] are seen as offering lower-quality education.”
How can an honest republican that has any sense of morality look what bush does everyday without gagging from what they see?
