Military family and the pain of long, and multiple, deployments:
Illegal Invaders lining up for free EBT, welfare, and Section 8 subsidized housing:
So... someone familiar with the numbers please chime in - do we allot more moeny for housing to the troops who protect our nation and our lives, families, and property, or do we allot more to those who collect welfare and other, comparable, entitlements?
Don’t forget these amounts are in addition to their pay....I was a JAG officer on active duty.
Go here to figure it out, but the increase averages $43.00 more

YES! Active duty pay raise was less than 3%, and out of that comes income taxes and CHAMPUS health ins for family.
Car, House, ins, rent, utilities, car payments, etc. BAQ as we called it in the day was never sufficient to allow decent housing or provide for your family if the wife didn’t work you couldn’t make it all month. Both raises should be doubled at least. Brass should not have first choice in base housing either. They can afford to live off base.
