While shouting that the minimum wage for illegal aliens working at McDonalds should be $15. an hour, President Obama used a loophole in the US Code deter a pay raise to the military. The lower pay increase translates to a Pay Grade E-4 (Corporal, Petty Officer 3d Class, Specialist 4, Senior Airman) with less than three years in service will earn less than $3.00 an hour. Under the 2016 pay scale, a Pay Grade E-1 undergoing recruit training will be paid roughly $2.15 an hour.

So, as a registered Green Party loyalist, it is deplorable to watch just how pissy the R’s (reverses) and the D’s (dividers) are in the political sand box, e.g., the R’s stall and defeat a senate bill sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders (D) to fund billions toward Vetrans benefits and Obama (D) reduces the pay of the R’s favorite desposible pawns who protect the R’s biggist political campaign stockholder interests abroad (big oil)l. Yup, very intersting…
My comment why serve when you constantly get screwed by politicians. Wonder what would happen if all service people put in for a release from service
How about you roll back all yours and Congresses raises these past 7 years and apply what you have or have not given them to your salary. Also roll back all your retirement pay raises Obama that you have passed these past 7 years. The 18% you passed for yourself should go to the Veterans COA!
Men and women join the military to serve their country and to better themselves and go in harms way to defend their country. For the amount of money the government spends on trivial things, at least the government would honour the agreement made guaranteeing the federal law those serving in the nation’s military are supposed to receive a yearly pay raise in accordance with a formula utilized by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The House of Representatives traditionally uses whatever figure the BLS sends them to factor into any given Fiscal Year Budget to be sent to the Commander-in-Chief. But Barack Obama has again decided to use an emergency loophole in the US Code to keep the formulated pay raise from the troops.
Yet as reported by the Alabama Media Group (The Birmingham News, The Huntsville Times, the Mobile Press-Register) on Aug. 31, 2015, members of the Armed Forces will see a barely visible 1.3 percent increase in their proverbial pay envelopes starting New Year’s Day. But as reported by the Heritage Foundation on Aug. 7, 2015, those in the service were initially slated to receive a 2.3 percent hike in pay.

If we have no money to give our military a substantial raise – men and women who have been redeployed and redeployed ad nauseam without thanks – then I assume the illegals who are now allowed to join the military will be paid nothing. No money for our citizens, there should definitely be NO money for illegals.
