Do you even check your facts or think before you post. You are so full of it, you truly show you have no idea what you are talking about.
The pay scale between branches has pretty much always been the same. an E-1 or E-9 in the Army makes exactly the same as an E-1 through E-9 in the Air Force or Navy or Marines. Same with Officer grades and Warrant officers.
Benefits are exactly the same also.

It doesn't mean anything. It's not a real issue. It's a 4-second audio clip that may or may not have been misconstrued. But, you know, so what? Why do you care so much? This is just goofy.

Because it sells man. and it adds fuel to the partisanship hatreds. The GOP have to get their swipes in, then the Dems have to get theirs in and before you know it everyone is fighting and spewing hatred and arguing over how something was said and not about what was said.
It takes the heat off the press as being "too liberal"
and takes the heat off the real issues and maybe in some people's minds gets some of those "on the wall" indecisive types to vote GOP now.
