I just want to put in my two cents about the military commissaries.

I think this is a national security issue. We don't need melamine in baby formula and the military families should be as supplied with organic foods from local sources as they want to be. I think the commissaries should have a commission similar to a board of trustees as if it were an independent food market such as "Oryana" or "Trader Joe's".

They want to be a couple and if they decide to raise families it should be in a method they feel completely comfortable with.

This bill comes at a time when both the US House and Senate and President Obama want to ram through a "Fast Track Authority" for major changes in trade relationships in both oceans that border the USA. I don't believe it is coincidental at all.

I don't really care to know who was suppose to be the recipient of these contracts for military families, but, it is simply wrong. 

There is not a day that goes by these families and service members are without a degree of stress. Children are aware their parent(s) could be called to duty in a place they cannot go. 

If having a commissary in a manner they decide provides for everyday items from food to bed linens, then they should find comfort in the selections they choose. 

I want them left alone and EMPOWERED to have the quality of life they seek. I don't want to hear how our military is being bartered in ANY trade negotiations. This is more of the long standing manipulation of military spending gone awry. 

Generals need to have the supplies they need and where they need them and families should have their preferred choices for the dollars they spend to bring normalcy and comfort to their children and home lives. 

I am not very different from many Americans that see their military spending used for Wall Street profits only to find out trillions of dollars are being spent on machines that don't fly and when they do they do fly well and impede a strong and sovereign military. Or machines that are operated by computer so the country is completely removed from the devastation their country is causing in places they have never heard of. The USA military spending is enormous and greed merchants and their political power players need to get off the dole!
