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:
Try googling “20 percent military pay cut” and find out this attempt to create more anger and ire toward the president is completely incorrect. It does NOT impact anyone in the military who is not retiring! Retiring troops would only suffer a one percent cut and that may not happen. Do not forget that your congressman or senator probably voted yes on the legislation by Ryan and Murray. Check it out. Fact checking is important!
What a lousy dog!
Cut yours cut congress.
stop giving money to muslems.
Commander in Chief of the military, you just cut your own pay!
Congress should give Obama a 100% retirement reduction.
This has got to stop. He is unilaterally destroying this great country. The military reductions in force, pay and retirement. The unprecedented amount of illegals , and they are recieving benefits, licenses, free health care,education, and subsidies. Our vets? Prez wants to cut pay, reduce retirement pay and a reduction in force.
HAMMER AND SICKLE!!!!
Give back some of the money spent on your multi-million vacations that you and your family and friends take on our dime.
Why can’t we cut his vacation pay by 100% and his pay by 20%.
