Even if the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan end today and that money could be routed back to helping our country it doesn't change the fact that the USPS operates at a loss each day and that more and more people are not using it anymore for bills, cards and other things like packages.

USPS was losing money even during the economic boom and once things slowed down and the "mailers" droped in number significantly it is forcing the top brass to take a look at it.
