No they still get combat pay.

Thats the way of the beast it's not my call.

last time I checked the Military had Combat pay, then they had another pay for people deployed to possible combat areas that were not in combat.

Isn't that what they should be getting?

Do you mean hazardous duty pay?

Whatever pay the troops are getting, they still are not in combat units.

epic fail

 

[JakeStarkey]

Thus, thanks to your own admission, bigreb, there are no American combat units in Iraq.

You may calm down now. Officer Rabbit has put away his handcuffs . . . for now.

only those who argue that there are no combat troops in Iraq are the same people who have never been in the military.

Those of us who have been in the military know exactly what we are talking about, and we agree with Gates, not a bigot poseur like you, bigrebbyrd.

No, those of us who have been in the military do not agree with Gates. You may speak for yourself.

There are US Combat troops in Iraq. FACT.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Gates, not bigrebbyrd or SFC Ollie, designates combat units, so they both fail, Gates we hail, and all move along.

I thought training was the thing that designated what was and wasn't combat troops.

 

[JakeStarkey]

That's your problem, you try to think and it hurts your head.

At least I can think you on the other hand are just a parrot sqawking the party line. You can only say so much until you get the next days talking point orders.

This from the little parrot, bigrebbyrd. Gates designates what a combat unit is, not you, an angry internet poster.

Training designates what is a combat troop and what isn't a combat troop.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Sorry, sonny, you do not set military service standards or regulations.

Remember that you are a little pissant in lost corner, north carolina, don't get above yourself.

Even though you tried to steal my words, I am glad that you are claiming them, because they overrule your earlier arguments.
