I agree. I think to say that Obama had him fly there to deliver this message is hyperbole. He was answering a question to him in a forum setting and, IMO, answered it honestly.

Rulers like him need a special breed of troops like the SS, who swear loyalty to the furher and not necessarily the country.

This guy has got to go!

He should be instilling confidence in our troops that their hard work will continue to be rewarded with a check that is on time, for the correct amount and doesn’t bounce.

Instead, he is undercutting their moral.

Got to get rid of this guy! STAT!

I agree with you about Obama having to fly Mullen there to deliver that messgage. However, he is the CJCS visiting a combat zone talking to young Airmen, Soldiers and Sailors, he should have known that one of the main things these Warriors were concerned about was getting paid. Many live pay check to pay check. I know I did for my first 7 years in the military. He should have had some type of promise from the CINC, that military pay would be of the highest priority, and not give the Troops anymore things to worry about.

1) We do not know how much money currently is in the treasury.
2) The disbursement of funds out of the Treasury is not set by anyone but the Treasury. They can pay for whatever they want in whatever sequence they want.

What a dishonest fool we have in the White House. Who in their right mind would give such distressing news to someone in the middle of a war? Besides the fact the direct military pay was deposited July 29 for the month of August. Each day I find more reasons to honestly dislike this poor excuse for a President.

IIRC, from x-son-in-law, they would have gotten paid Friday the 29th at midnight (last Friday in the month).

They get their pay at 2:00 AM the first.

Misleading headline IMO. It is not as if the GenerL flew over to Afganistan to tell the boys they are working for free.

Wow, a companion piece to the one about Bite Me billing the Secret Service for their quarters while protecting the Vice Fiend.

This article about the Fiend in Chief is so sickening horrible it just ratchets up my intense loathing and horror yet again.

The only upside is that no doubt more and more of the military are feeling the same way I do. And all constitutionalists and rational beings.

This is going over the line. He is giving aid and comfort to our enemies by harming the morale of soldiers in the field and their families at home.

Obama should be removed from office.
