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:
I think its about time to start cutting ob’s retirement (don’t know what he is retiring from) and the rest of the kids in politics. Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.” Teddy Roosevelt…..
So We the People need to stop his waste of our tax dollars on trips and stop him from sending billions of our dollars to our enemies.
How would he like a 20 percent pay cut! He done blew his on vacations!
You took this entire thing out of context.. It’s just a shift in the type of retirement the Government offers. It gives service members an opportunity to make more money in the long run. Not to mention 90% of retired service members go on to lead another career after the service
Anything to weaken our military
Not right…again. Get him OUT of office…before He can do anymore damage.
None of the govt reps ,sen n such need there pay ..they own buisnesses..So give the retiring Vets what they earned
He is a pile of dung heap. Lowest of the low
Shameful. Cut his pay
Good, DON”T JOIN THE MILITARY and if you are already in, get out. ALL wars are fight for the profits of wealthy men, anyway. NO war is fought for a noble cause. Every war and terror act is contrived, planned and orchestrated to keep you in fear.
