Military families turn to food stamps
A growing number of working people use food stamps to help make ends meet. Often they work in retail, food and service industry jobs, where pay is traditionally low. But there’s another group of working people turning to food stamps that might surprise you: active-duty military personnel and their families.

The government want everyone to be dependent on welfare. They could pay them more for their service but then the peons wouldn’t get the point. There is pride that comes for being paid for a job well done but the government wouldn’t want that.
The money comes from the same source, the American taxpayer so why do they insist on service members going on welfare?
