President Obama stated Monday that he would support a 20% pay reduction for retiring military personnel as well as redefining benefits for those that leave before achieving 20 year of service. So it’s only a matter of time before these recommendations are realized.
Obama has been cutting natural born citizens out of the military while simultaneously hiring illegal immigrants. He has also been ending highly successful military programs and allowing different components the military to simply degrade, prompting the Washington Times to state that Obama has our decimated our military, leaving the US only ‘marginally able’ to defend itself.
How does President Obama explain his intentions?
After the jump, see insights reported in the Washington Times article, including excerpts from Obama’s message to Congress:
Why pick on these veterans?
then his pay should be cut to ! he works for the same tax dollars that they do ! I fact let just cut they pay and retirement of all of congress and all of Washington workers.!!! our military is putting their lives on the line in that uniform and no one in Washington is in any danger like that , so if we cut the military pay then we cut all of pay for everyone in Washington, D.C.!!! what do you think ? huh ? good idea
Bye has hurt the military!
The politicians spent our salary reduction in one day. They are borrowing $1 million per minute to pay for all the special interest en$#%&!@*lements. This will not be the last time hard working, legal, tax paying Americans take a hit for everyone else. It just starts with America’s finest because they are not allowed to speak up and there is no military Union.
You see, he doesn’t do anything for this country but will for the people that hate us.
Sooo butt head, AFTER the men and women put their lives on the line for this country, AFTER many of them were killed and maimed for serving in defense of this country, NOW you want to CUT THEIR RETIREMENT ??? I will be so glad when the SOB has a new mailing address in Kenya.
Democrats and Obuma are the problem. Pull them down!
All this happening while Congress is working on giving Congress a pay raise. Congress is notorious for stealing from SS and never paying it back. I guess since SS is broke they will go after Veterans. Our military personnel goes in service out of duty and pride and the privilege to serve our country. We even protect this administration and Congress while they stab each and every VETERAN in the back. Cowards!
Maybe he can cut his golf outings & vacations by 20%????
I say cut POTUS Salary and benefits along with The money for all his and her VACATIONS and give it tothe Military retirement pay.
