5. I am thankful that there is medical funding in the military

9. Thanks, total of 9. Wonder how it compares to other presidents

12. It's a standard thing. Remember only the Navy is established in the Constitution

The Army has to be funded.

Yeah there is all kinds of bloat in there but it has to be passed.
