The Biden administration “strongly opposes” a congressional proposal to raise the pay of junior enlisted service members.
In a statement on its position on the House’s version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the White House said it did not support the proposal equivalent to approximately $24.4 billion over five years.

“Joe Biden must hate our military. While families of our junior enlisted struggle on food stamps, this administration opposes their pay raises and wants to force feed them pronoun training and drag queen story hour. If Biden had any PRIDE at all in our troops, he’d support the long overdue pay raise House Republicans have passed,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) said.
Once they bring back the draft, they can cut the pay to $16/month and build more barracks.
Must have gone for Trump....
Yet, illegal aliens are getting over $65,000.
The debate should start with whether an E=1 through E-3 should be getting paid enough to support a family. They probably should be in barracks, not family housing, at that level. E-4 would be a closer call.
The better solution than a pay increase might be universal service.
Ukraine needs the money more than our soldiers do.
This is all b.s. living on food Stamps? Crappola.
You are given room, board, training.
You were not issued a wife with your seabag.
Live within your means. That means you don't marry above your pay grade.
Yeah but the bastard is committed to giving Ukraine more billions of our money.
Joey needs to spend a few weeks in boot camp with Gunnery Sgt. Hartman. I wonder if he hack it.
Well they would but they sent all the money for raises to Zelensky and the Ayatollah.
“The debate should start with whether an E=1 through E-3 should be getting paid enough to support a family.”
In the long run, the government doesn’t expect a first term enlister to have a family because they say so. And even though uncle sugar is way behind the times, they act accordingly and no one questions it. So the debate shouldn’t start at E1 though E3 wages. It should start at the government rethinking the entire process based upon their candidates, not their pocketbook. If they enlist any members past 17, then they are asking for families today and they don’t support them based upon old thinking. The process for all ranks is outdated, not just lower enlisted.

The “administration” such as it is, hopes to further undermine the military.
Joe Biden must hate our military
So does Obama and Clinton it’s a democrat party issue.
None of those three maggots ever learned what
“esprit de corps” means.
They never were anything of worth in their life and they prove it.
You mean slavery. We already resolved that with a vicious war.
Nations hostile to The United States weakening our country by bribing The Democrat Crime Families.
You overlook the obvious - many enlist with a family.
Face it bro - it ain’t the 60s anymore.
I BARELY slept for the first 4 years of my enlistment.
I HAD more brains than to involve another person in my life while serving my country.
