Support the Troops-Really GOP? Many of you may not know military members and their families need welfare and actually use much more than the $1.302 billion they spent on base in 2012 in SNAP (formerly food stamps) and WIC purchases. These numbers represent only a fraction of the true need servicemembers and their families silently endure. The figures only account for military families who shop on base, which neglects a large portion of WIC and SNAP spendings at any stores off base.
