Another outrage from the Obama Regime! As in Vietnam, the concept of "front lines" is irrelevant. All who have boots on the ground in Afghan are serving in a combat role. There is no "rear echelon" in a war where the enemy uses IED's and so-called "suicide bombers" at any time, anywhere in the theatre.

Combat pay is a portion of the Defense budget that is,or should be, awarded to any of our troops who are placed in harm's way in a theatre of combat, whether they are fired upon or not.

If the Obama Regime wants to save a few nickels, let it pursue some of the rampant welfare fraud and bloated social programs that do nothing other than suck tax dollars out of the hard-working middle class that keeps our economy going.



Etiam non princeps sed usque ad genua, Principis Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

We know what this is about and it ain’t about saving money.

God bless and help those serving.

Well said, and thank you for your service with Darkhorse.

(I suppose it’s a sign of the times that one of my secondary thoughts upon reading this - after how obscene this arrogant and insulting scheme is - was that this would not bode well any plans to use our proud military against the civilians...)

“If the Obama Regime wants to save a few nickels, let it pursue some of the rampant welfare fraud and bloated social programs that do nothing other than suck tax dollars out of the hard-working middle class that keeps our economy going.”

Not to mention all the “vacations” that worthless affirmative action sissy takes on the taxpayer’s nickel, with and without the cow.
