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.

If Obama is signing that means our Republican Congress p$#%&!@*ed it. It’s time for a Congress overhaul!

Pastor C here, let Obama take a ,60 present pay cuy
Most democrats do not care about veterans , most have never served, and are among those that burn our country’s flag.
If this is indeed happening yes you are right it would be congress doing this.
Obama needs his retirement taken away from him!!
Obama is doing all be can to destroy the morale of our military. That will have a negative effect on the battlefield.
