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.
Read those miniscule numbers again and then go to the next page for more.
the best way to down size the military is to make it so no one wants to join
got to save the money ror the illegals
democrats never cared about our military check the accurate record
Thank you for your continued stupidity. I only hope you die before I do.
Maybe we need to do better than Turkey
I agree TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT
Hey!… Immigrants need more handouts … Quit your bitching… Obama knows best….*facedesk*
Why doesn’t Obama lead by example and cut his pay by the same percentage and totally stop taking $120 million or more vacations. Greatest hypocrite in the history of this country. Pure evil!!!
… No law & order is fine by me… Like most veterans I’m trained and armed win/win man… Heh
The President does not set military pay. That function is the responsibility of Congress, which has done absolutely nothing to address the disparity in pay for our military. Congress shares the responsibility for a lot of the mess our government is in.
