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:
Thanks boss, this should improve moral to the highest level since you took over..
Including his own pay cut? Sure
Maybe they should cut all elected officials pay also. This to help the military.
Hopefully they will sue.
Just one more Black mark on his presidency!
the Revolution Will be Televised.
Cut the pay of this idiot!!!! He wants to do everything he can to take this country down! That’s his goal!!
Unless he cut his pay to do this I am not for it. They went through a lot for their retirement. What has he done for what he gets paid?
Soldiers are already suffering. Some are on the poverty level and eligable for food stamps. Now they will have retirement cut? These are the reason we are able to say what we want and live as we want. This is our freedom and yet our government is treating them like this? When are we going to wake up and take control?
Cut that pos’s Money funding instead that we the people are paying for! Including his retirement funding!!
