There can be NO DEFENSE for this action..... NONE!!!!! |
I am not going to defend it, because I think they deserve it, but military pay increases have always gone by the employment cost index +.5%. What the ECI is this year I dont know so is 3.1% fair? I do know that when I was in service I got as low as 2% raise, but I wont say who was president when that occured.
And Will, I watched your vid link, this thread is about US military pay and bennies, do you think ya could start a thread with like Bush lies, they are a liars, they should all go to jail? Oh wait nevermind evey thread turns into that somehow, just a TFP thread as usual, carry on.
