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:
Cut his pay for the rest of his life let him get a prison cell.
This is pathetic, retirees get a smidgen of what Congress gets and had to give over half their life to get that and this piece of trash wants to take 20 Percent of that back, and he doesn’t understand why America HATES him and wants him DEAD
Why not HIS pay cut!!
How about a 70 percent cut in his pay.or pay him what he is worth. Zero
Was this voluntary on the part of the service people where they forced to retire now
Disgusting. Jeanie is right!
And Obama gets a large retirement for life…
congress and the president should take the pay cut. they have not done anything to earn their pay. military volunteer to die for this country and should be rewarded for their sacrifice. we deserve better than cut throat politicians.
A long walk down a short pier. The water might help his brain to function.
No. Who purposed it?
