Obama Screws the Troops – Again

[longknife]

In the midst of discussion about launching a U.S. military strike on Syria, President Obama moved Friday to reduce the size of January’s military raise.

Instead of the 1.8 percent raise due troops under a federal pay formula, Obama notified Congress he is exercising his powers as the government’s pay agent to cap the Jan. 1 increase at 1 percent.

The announcement came at 5 p.m. at the start of the Labor Day weekend after the news had been dominated for days about how the U.S. should respond to apparent use of chemical weapons against civilians by the government of Syria.

He's taking away a lot of benefits, raising costs for military health care for dependents, and reducing the building budgets to replace aging military structures and housing – and he wants to send them into another war! Disgusting! Read the story @ Obama orders 1 percent military raise for January | Military Times | militarytimes.com

It's what Democrats-Progressives do, but don't dare accuse them of NOT CARING about our military men and women and their families...

Stick around, Obama will have screwed a lot more than that before he's done. Wait'll the biggest nation-wide welfare boondoggle gets rolling (aka Obamacare) and the bill comes due on that turkey.
