Wasn't there an increase in combat pay included in the 87billion?

In all seriousness, is there a link for what has been adjusted for the military, in the last 3 years?

correction...there was a slight increase in troop pay in the 87Billion...but that was still after benefits were cut and combat pay was under the knife three times. Political cover.

no there wasn't.

he's the first CIC to get blasted by both Army Times and Stars and Stripes for how he's treated troops. Throw in a less than happy National Guard and you've got fun in November.

Damtoft lectures about a President who holds on to his base in 3...2....1...

His new economic plan, if everyone in the country buys 4000 of those jerseys we can pay for his war.

With the way he treats our troops, I'm afraid his plan is to have our soldiers wearing the jerseys.

Did he really cut them?

Seriously, I am not sure.

he gave a small pay raise that was wiped out by a cut in benefits. he tried three times to cut combat pay to help offset the costs of Iraq.
