If it’s not a combat zone, send the Girl Scoiuts.
No, didn’t think so.

WEll, of COURSE they’re not at risk. There’s 300 of them against 50,000 of the enemy - what risk?
That said, a war zone is a war zone - therefore they are entitled to tha measly little $7.50 a day.

When 7.50 a day per man is unwarranted to the govt that prints money like the daily news, it’s definitely NOT about the money
More FEELGOOD IDEOLOGICAL BULLSH....

If you're an operator, shooter, diplomat, or dogcatcher and are deployed by THIS administration, be prepared to cover your OWN a$$. And to get your own ride home.
I fear that Obama is systematically placing our people and our assets in untenable situations in harms way to dispose of them.

Over and above the obscenity of Special Forces being denied combat pay while in Iraq, what strikes me most about this story is the paltry amounts involved.
..."imminent danger pay" of $7.50 daily up to $225 per month...
My combat pay in Vietnam in 1968 was $66/Month. According to the government's (Bureau of Labor Statistics) Inflation Calculator, the equivalent amount in 2014 dollars would be $451.19.

If the President was sending them to a combat zone, the War Powers Act would kick in. This no combat-pay thing is an end-run around Congress.
