Merchant Marine sailors made $1,500 per month while underway and Soldiers, Sailors and Marines made $21. No way in h-ll do they deserve a grand a month now. Uniformed veterans don't get that. Where do I sign up to fight this? It sounds like something out of their notoriously Commie union.
That is absolute crap. Who peed in your post toasties this morning?
MM made 75 times what soldiers sailors and marines made? You are out of your freekin mind!
You're the only one who has it right on this thread. The others all want to get money out of the government. Sounds like good Democrap material to me. Its true, the MM men wanted to get paid a hell of a lot more than Army or Navy pay, thats why they joined the MM. And they didn't have to dig any trenches or foxholes, or fire their rifles. They made a choice back then, and if they had saved and invested their big pay checks back then, they should all be rich now.
I wrote earlier that my husband paid off his first ship with a little over $6,000.00 but that inclued his winngs from grambling.He sure didnt make that much from his MM pay.Just want you know that just one of the people I sent the bill to in turn has send it to over 50 people and some written back saying they support it and also are forwarding it on to others.This has been just since last night.SO WE WILL GET IT DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!Enjoy your Post Toasties
