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:
He is (supposedly) the Commander in Chief so does his pay get cut 20% also. Seems only fair!
That much more money to give to people who come here illegally.
How dare he! What on earth can be wrong with people who still support him? Just when I think he can’t sink any lower, he does.
so wrong.
works for me!
except for muslim soldiers and they get pay raises !
If politicians and their WIVES paid for their trips all over the world, spreading such joy, there would be plenty of $$$ for the military. Stop decorating the WH. also.
Sounds good to me Carl Krebs.
Go back to KENYA
I wonder if he ever thought about taking a 20% cut in his pay, probably not.
