I read the Navy Times article but don't recall seeing anything about cutting veterans benefits. Where did you read that?
He may have been referring to cuts in general.
One "cut" that got a lot of publicity is the proposed (approved?) change on early retirements. Under it (at some time in the future) people that retire with less then 30 years could still "retire" but they get no payments until age 62. To get paid at retirement 30 years of service would be required.
But this change (?proposed?) would only apply to new enlistees (or ones with very few years of service). Something like how they started changing civilian retirements 20 years ago.
