Nine years is an awful long time. What in the world happened that they would not get a good raise in nine years?

No, they got annual pay raises, it’s just that this one is the largest in nine years. Now if they’d give disabled veterans a raise.

In 1981Ronald Reagan gave us a 14.3% pay raise.

Today’s military is overextended and not meeting current recruiting goals to simply replace troops that leave or retire.

Highly qualified and trained people are leaving daily thanks to a better job market.
