Everyone who’s surprised, raise your hands.

Actually, I am sort of surprised—that it took them so long to show their true color.

Actually, I’m glad that he’s taking steps which are likely to anger the military.

In fact, lawmakers have lavished so much money on troops, according to the Post, that service members are now better compensated than workers in the private sector with similar experience and education levels.

Of course this doesn't mention...
(1) Private sector employees who are not getting shot at.
(2) Private sector employees who can quit their job before their tour of duty is up.
(3) Private sector employees who's daily commute doesn't involve Afghanistan.
(4) Private employees who don't have to spend six months to a year away from their families.

The private-sector folks aren't available for duty 24/7, and they DON'T GET SHOT AT!

Unless Obama considers gangbangers to be "private sector", and then he's wrong about the money...

The Gov't is wasteful as it is. At least $2.3 Trillion is unaccounted for by DoD.

Implying we are gonna save money pay cutting pay to service members is crazy.

Outrage: Obama Administration Targets Military for Pay Reductions>

The reason: Easy pickings. The military has no real way to protest or fight back. Even their ballots in recent elections have been cast aside or not counted. Their only recourse is to leave the military.

All I can say is, sick, sick, sick....along with shame, shame, shame! To think that members of congress voted themselves a pay raise of almost $5,000 plus enormous benefits for working less than 4 days per week on average, while our military heros are on duty 24/7, expose themselves to life threatening situations are possibly denied a pay raise.....where is the justice in this??? If there are any moral congress people left in our government they should be knocking on the WH doors, telling Obama to forget it that it is not going to happen and not to mention it again. Think this will tell us the caliber of our elected officials like nothing else will!

Some Minnesota National Guard troops recently got their promised bonus for extended service in Iraq were shocked to learn that more than 40% of their bonus was eaten up in taxes. Efforts were made in the Minnesota Legislature to rescind state income tax on this bonus pay, but the IRS would not be deprived of their whack. Why doesn’t Congress just exempt military pay received in combat from federal income tax?

OUT RAGE IS A MILD WORD to describe what I feel when I read that our Military who risk their lives to keep us FREE are being SHORTED in any way. FIXING your command structure dosn’t require CUTTING the enlisted men and women’s pay! And health care is part of paying them BELOW civilian job pay rates!

$80K a year to deliver mail? $52K a year to dodge bullets and “be all you can be”? Does anyone see anything wrong with this? Except that maybe the mail carriers belong to a union... Time for change alright. Time for the total transformation of government back to reality and fiscal responsibility.
