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:
Yet he and congress continue to get full pay for life.
What potentional military retirees say about this. Would it fair to say you get hit while Fed Civil Service skate. How about those in the FBI, NSA, IRS, SS, etc. Would it be more fair to reduce each department of government to be fair to our military. This is an action by OB to weaken your service for his agenda. Anyone in the military to fight as your leaders give away your retirement.
Thanks to those who voted him in the 2nd time.
What a bunch of gullible people
How much more are we going to put up with? I absolutely hate Obama ! Get him out of our White House and get him out of our beloved America !
Cut your pay & your families expenses!!! And stop your unnecessary trips & vacations! Priorities first you sorry excuse of a man!!
This is so not right on so many levels they need more pay and help all of congress needs to have there pays lowered and make sure they don’t get an entire life time of FREE MEDICAL like they are all getting now, For Pete’s sakes these Men and Women of the armed services not just protect us they even protect Congress and the President, how about all of them give up all their protection, and we’ll see how long they last, and when something happens none of our Military responds to their pleas. Shame on everyone that’s in congress and Shame On You Obama… Also God Bless America!!!
how about we give him a 100% both current and retirement pay you know just to make the budget balance
This Muslim idiot has lost his mind an all respect from the troops and the American people !!!!
Stinking traitor to our troops!! While He and his family go to Martha’s Vineyard to spend thousands of dollars on themselves!! We should p$#%&!@* a bill limiting the amount a President can spend on himself and his family !!
