Fight hard.
The sheer volume of SMs on WIC is absolutely astonishing. People with triple my TIS, higher grade and much higher pay are constantly telling me to go on WIC (they are themselves!). I tell them the ability to provide for my own family is my responsibility alone, and if I can provide for their needs as well as their wants, there is absolutely no reason why I should be on WIC. I ask them where they think that money comes from, and their response is, "the government." I ask where they think the government gets that money, and rarely do they even have a response.
There is so much money for everything when you're a SM (DLA, special duty pay, re-enlistment bonus, COLA, BAS, FSP, etc.), I think they just view it as one extra bit of "free" money. It's pretty sad. All they use it for is so they can have extra money in their pocket to buy more crap. - I briefly thought about it for a second so I could take the "savings" and donate that on top of my tithe at church, but quickly came to the conclusion that it's still wrong.
