More prosperity stolen from the productive.

What the **** is that stupid shit supposed to mean

It means with all of these pay increases they can buy their own uniforms and Obamacare like I do

Let your hatred of the military flow, traitor.

Guess you never served in the military then, did you? In boot camp, we were issued our uniforms and seabags the first couple of days we were there. Then, a month or so later when I checked my LES (Leave and Earnings Statement), it showed where I had paid for the uniforms I had been issued.

And, while there is a clothing maintenance allowance that is given on the anniversary of someone's enlistment, it doesn't begin to cover the cost of replacing uniforms over a year, especially if you are on sea duty in a dirty job.

As far as "Obamacare"? Nope, sorry, but the medical corps are staffed with enlisted and officer members, with very few civilians. Not even close to Obamacare.
