I know this is a very emotional and controversial issue but i would still like to hear your thoughts on it. It is a very important issue...
Proposed 1.4% Military Pay Raise Under Fire - CBS News
I got my lowest pay raise last year also, a $2,500 decrease in base! The fact that they got an increase is great!
The military is important and they have a tough and obviously dangerous job. But come on they get amazing benefits. Why do government workers always feel such a major sense of entitlement? Why do they think a down economy shouldn't effect them also? What you want to lower my wages? What you want to cut my HIGHWAY ROBBERY pension plan? What you want to get rid of my useless job? What you want to get rid of my useless department?
Cry me a river people! Militarymen have a dangerous and VERY IMPORTANT job, but they get paid for the job they volunteered for. They get 3 squared meals a day and free room and boat. They get their educationed paid for after they serve. They get invaluable training. They get healthcare after services. I mean people are making it like they aren't get squat! It's Bull Shit!
I find it very interesting that conservatives day and night talk about cross the board cuts, but when it comes to defense spending, that is off the table commie!
