As I go down the list reading comments, I come back to the fact that the Obama administration is proposing a cut in military pay. what a stupid idea. pretty near all of the guys and ladies work for a small fraction of the pay of their civilian counterpart. most of the younger ones live in semi poverty. and they do not get overtime pay.while they are available for duty 24/7/365. Yes they volunteered and thank God for them.because even when we had the draft the rest of the people that refused to serve either ran out of the country or hid behind college walls. The Gis and sailors and Airmen did not create this fiscal mess. They didnt cause the housing mess. heck the majority dont even own a home. so if anything the military personnel should have their pay raised to the same level as a civilian doing the same job.
