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.

The prince of theives, steal from those who deserve and give to those who don’t!!!!
U.S. Code dictates a rather complex equation for military pay raises, based on the Employment Cost Index. When the ECI goes up, so does military pay, so that military salaries don’t fall behind civilian ones. The President is empowered to suggest a lower or higher pay raise, which would have to be ratified by Congress, in extenuating circumstances like an economic crisis.
The 2016 military pay increase has been announced and is 1.3%, effective January 1st, 2016. However, General and Flag Officers above pay grade O-7, will not see an increase due to a pay freeze at those higher levels. The military pay increase has been 1% or .8% for the past two years, which is less than the private-sector wage growth.
(Don’t believe everything you read on sleazy media sites like this one whose only purpose is to rile up the viewers with twisted or half truths.)
LORD PLEASE STRAIGHTEN HIM OUT. (in lieu of punishing him)
And he wants to raise his pay

You dumbass realize that this is a lie. What a bunch of sheep! Do some research! You are being played. My God, what is wrong with you?
Lets cut his to $30,000 & see how he likes that.
Only congress can cut military wages. It’s past time a military tribunal calls for a court martial of the commander in chief for his treasonous acts of aiding and comforting Isis by supplying arms, ammunition, supplies, vehicles, and taxpayer funds to further their agendas.
