bigpoppanils Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Military: Even harassing the U.S.'s own troops, the administration wants to reduce the amounts of money paid to military families and cut combat pay for our soldiers and sailors. In the scramble to meet Iraq costs, the Pentagon has said it can't sustain pay raises instituted in April for the very troops that are doing its dirty work: The $75 a month in "imminent danger pay" for battlefront troops and $150 a month in "family separation allowances" will be scrapped, come the end of this month, if the Pentagon has its way and Congress votes against extending them. taken from:http://www.villagevoice.com/issues/0337/mondo1.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
