Revenge-Obama to Stand Down On Military Pay and Benefits

Mark America

My son-in-law is getting set for deployment to Afghanistan. His departure is imminent, and while I am proud of the young man?s continuing service to this country, this being his second deployment, I am startled by the manner in which the current administration treats all our soldiers.? The truth is that the Obama administration doesn?t even?like?the military, and except for instances in which they can be used as a campaign prop, they haven?t any regard for the men and women who volunteer to serve this nation.? One Obama-friendly group has come out with its proposal for trimming military pay and benefits, and it?s shocking to realize how little regard they have for our service-members based on what they?re advocating.?The Center for American Progress, a completely maniacal left-wing cohort of Obama?s, largely funded by George Soros, has actually suggested that our government should cut the pay and benefits of soldiers dramatically.? It?s disgusting.? It?s despicable.? It?s another example of how the left doesn?t understand or appreciate our military men and women, but if Obama is re-elected, it?s probably the blueprint for what will happen.? It?s time to consider the disastrous consequences of another presidential stand-down.

They?ve actually proposed cutting military retirement, and they?ve also proposed changing the rules for when one can begin drawing a military retirement.? Rather than commencing retirement benefits upon retirement, the madcaps at the Center for American Progress are pushing the notion that benefits shouldn?t commence until 60.? I want those of you who haven?t served in the military to think about this very carefully.? If a young man or woman serves twenty years in the military, on average, it?s not like working in the civilian world for two decades.? The abuses of one?s body, the toll it takes on one?s family, and the miserable conditions under which two decades of life are conducted is something for which there are no direct analogs in the civilian world.? One person I know, a police officer, who works hard and is dedicated to public safety, likened his profession to the military, and I stopped and corrected him.? There is a vast difference, and it comes down to this: Our service-members live under martial authority.? It?s?not?like being a cop, much as I respect so many in that profession.
