Will Senate Republicans Vote Against the Troops?

From Vet Voice:

Senate Republicans said this week that they would block all legislation prior to the upcoming summer recess unless the Democrats allowed them to bring up a vote on drilling for oil. But now those same Republicans are in trouble:

Democratic leadership, initially furious over the obstructionism, is now calling their bluff. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid last night introduced a Department of Defense Authorization bill that would, among other things, include a 3.9 percent across-the-board pay raise for military personnel; major funding increases for research into traumatic brain injury treatment and troop suicide prevention efforts; $26 billion for the Defense Health Program, and $500 million for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.

So either the Senate Republicans will have to acquiesce and go back on their word to filibuster any legislation, or they'll have to block funding for the troops.
