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:
There is money for illegals but our veterans are taking a pay cut?? Utterly insane and idsgraceful!!
take him out and put him on the front line.
Need to cut his pay too,This is sad to cut the pay for ones that are making us safe,Cut out whole D C pay,They are not worth their pay letting him get by with what he has done and doing to us
Pay cuts for troops and $150.000,000,000.00 for our sworn enemy iran, shouda nuked them on principles alone!
This guy is really out of touch with what a president
he has no idea of the struggles the enlisted encounter. When enlisted or lower officer that can barely make ends meet and many rely on food banks, food stamps etc. Now those that serve their country for 20 years can look forward to less money when they retire. Is his goal to make service in the military so bad no one will serve. I think the reason he re-established with cuba was to give back guantanamo and have another excuse for closing it. He is devious and has no idea what it takes for the average person to get by.
Let’s send him to the front lines for a couple years & see if he makes any cuts then.
This guy is out of touch with many things!
why would the vet’x even let him speak, let alone invite him
OBAMA cut your own retirement, Pay cut too, you run all over in AIR FORCE 1, and fly to NY and golf, WHAT DO YOU DO FOR OUR COUNTRY besides tear it down?
