Congress

Nov. 3 has the potential to change the population of military veterans in the U.S. Senate.

The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee says he favors a flat budget or slight reductions to Pentagon funding.

"Not just military men and women, but all of us would be better if we adhered to the tenets of the citizen soldier."

In a letter to VA Secretary Robert Wilkie, Rep. Elaine Luria, D-Va., said the plan was developed with no notice to Congress.

Hunter is scheduled to report to Federal Correctional Institute La Tuna in January.

A House bill would provide an additional allowance to cover basic needs for the youngest military families.

Lawmakers claim that Wilkie's taxpayer-funded trips often mix official business with "overtly political activities."

Lawmakers expressed concern about the potential for street violence on or after Election Day.

A new bill would make the Trump administration's controversial payroll tax deferral plan optional for service members.

Lawmakers said they were encouraged that Gen. Richardson has launched an effort to improve unit cohesion at the base.
