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:
Why Doesn’t Obama take a pay cut?
The last place we need a pay cut reduction is in our military! We got Russia sending planes near Alaska and war ships near Florida and ISIS and IRAN threatining us daily, I mean come on, this is no leader, the last place we need to be is weak in the face of adversity!
Easy for someone not to understand that hasn’t served. Everyone should know it’s all about the money.
There’s the main moron again doing really stupid things to our americans
Cut Obamas pay by 50%. And give it to our Vets.
A lot of whining from a bunch of people whose candidate lost out on the presidency, not once but twice. 99% of the people on Gere whining never even served in the military. I suppose you should be thankful for those who did serve since you didn’t have the courage. For those who don’t understand the words “to serve” does not mean “this is a great paying job”. Cut the pay and bring back the draft.
Because they don’t attend the Obama family reunion like the ISIS members do!
It’s a wonder you guys didn’t just go ahead and use “Fair and Balanced”? Are you a Fox outreach project? Yeah, ya kinda sound like that.
I voted for Obama because George Bush was awful. Now I see Obama is no different then George Bush. All US presidents work for the same master Israel. Now all our money goes to Elbit security systems, Israel and war efforts.
That’s all part of his take over plan!
