The NYT is being dishonest. They know that the military spent a period of time catching up in pay. Therefore, their pay was intentionally raised, so it necessarily rose compared to civilian pay. THAT was the point.

Also, if they’re including hazardous duty pay, combat pay, and other incentive and specialty pays in their numbers, that his hardly fair since we have been at war since 2001.

But, John Q Citizen won’t remember these things, so they’ll be duped by the dishonest folks touting these numbers.

And as we speak, we’ll have soldiers dying overseas.

Obama CHOSE to disrespect our deceased and their families during the shutdown by refusing payment for the legitimate death expenses. At heart, these people despise the military, and see them as photo op in the best of times.

That tells me all I need to know.
