So, if a FOB is mortared, does everyone on the FOB get combat pay? Is it only for that month? Or is pro-rated to number of days of enemy contact? Since enemy contact typically doesn’t last more than a few seconds (IEDs, rockets, mortars), can they pro-rate it to those seconds? That would save some money right there.

Now, let’s talk about increasing welfare payments...

The military has the power to hit the reset switch in DC and set this country straight.

Instead, it takes orders from a foreign communist, loses wars and wastes soldiers lives on a regular basis as a result, and makes plans to integrate homosexuals and lesbians.

Seems like this whole civilian control of the military thing is highly overrated.

It's not like the nations problems are ever going to be solved via the electoral process anyway.

Guess it's just a matter of time.

Should our inner city citizens that have to deal with gangbanging thugs, get extra welfare pay for living in urban combat zones. / semi sarcasm
