Obama and the Dems are very good at doing what we *never* do when we’re in power — punish enemies.
I’m retired military. PayPal is NOT the vehicle for receiving military pay; comes through DFAS - Defense Finance and Accounting System. I believe his assertions need a second look.
Agreed.
When we push these B__tards out of power this time, we must identify them, try them, sentence them, punish them. And never ever forget those who aided them.
We the people, must provide the END.

This man has got to be the most anti-American President ever. More benefits for the shiftless while he shafts hard working taxpayers and soldiers.
Great! Now let him stop paying the members of Congress their Member’s Representational Allowance for the days they are not actually (under fire) in their home districts! That ain’t gonna happen.
“The 2011 allowances range from $1,356,975 to $1,671,596, with an average MRA of $1,446,009.”
Obama, you sorry scumbag.
While in Vietnam we counted on that $2.20 per day for getting shot at. Now our troops get the magnificent sum of $7.50 per day! Obviously, this is the cause of the trillions of dollars of debt the country is in!
They obviously confused MyPay with PayPal. Easy midtake for a civian to make.

This isn’t exactly correct; the change started on 01FEB2012 so IDP is now pro-rated. Areas eligible for IDP are (as they always have been) defined by lat/long or by entire countries. The issue in the past was that a person only had to spend part of one day in an area to collect pay for the entire month; many rear echelon staffers would hop a flight that skirted an area and get the bonus for an entire 30 days. It’s not accurate implying ‘one has to be shot at’ to get the pay.
Read the military.com article, and don't rely on the rants of patdollard.com.
As a veteran, I find the conditions to receive hazard pay reasonable.
I thought that sounded kinda hinky, too.
I agree. This is reasonable and appropriate.
The second that...unless they outsourced when we weren’t looking. Maybe that’s how they save a few millions.

Retired grunt who has drawn my share of hostile fire pay.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I agree with this policy 100%! And the best way to make sure it works is to send a civilian government employee along on every patrol to see if any shots are fired. They would have to be up front because they’d have to check the bullets from both sides. Wouldn’t want to miss out on counting those bullets. They seem to want to count days.
