amongst other groups of people, the sequester is hitting the service men and women, their families and the supporting communities and businesses hard.

I personally know a young couple getting whacked in the head by some major changes that are going to bite them badly.

One wonders what will happen to the military aspect of the austerity-in-drag sequester if there is another occupation/war. That would be one way to increase the Pentagon's gigantic cash cow again, anyway. There is muscle behind that.
