"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Troops Get Stabbed In The Back By Pentagon Budget
Submitted by A. Magnus on Wed, 2014-12-31 01:00
"The Pentagon is looking to sharply slash troop benefits in its new budget, which would be in effect from 2016-2020. The Daily Caller reports that the previous lowering of a 1.8 percent pay raise to just one percent in the 2015 National Defense Authorization Act, a drop in housing allowances by five percent and an increase in co-pays for pharmaceuticals leaves "some troops (feeling) betrayed and frustrated, mainly because they're just finished fighting the longest war in the nation's history.""
