RAISE MILITARY PAY RAISE FROM 1%. THIS IS THE LOWEST PAY RAISE SINCE 1963. OUR SOLDIERS DESERVE MORE IN THESE TIMES.

THIS YEAR OBAMA ADMINISTRATION HAS AGREED ON SETTING MILITARY RAISE TO 1%. THIS IS THE LOWEST PAY RAISE SOLDIERS HAVE RECEIVED SINCE 1963. WE ARE SENDING THE WRONG MESSAGE TO THE ONES WHO HAVE WORKED THE HARDEST IN OUR COUNTRY BY THE MULTIPLE DEPLOYMENTS AND FAMILY SEPARATIONS. ACCORDING TO WHITE HOUSE SPOKESWOMAN CAITLIN HAYDEN THEY REDUCE THE PAY RAISE PARTLY TO OFFSET CONGRESSIONAL REFUSAL TO CUT SPENDING ON "OUTDATED WEAPONS SYSTEM." ON TOP OF CUTTING PAY RAISE TO 1%, THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE IS ALSO SEEKING TO RAISE OR ESTABLISH CERTAIN FEES IN HEALTH COVERAGE FOR RETIREES AND MILITARY DEPENDENTS. CONGRESS NEEDS TO KEEP THEIR HANDS OUT OF MILITARY PAY AND START TAKING SOME OF THEIR OWN PAY. HAVEN'T OUR SOLDIERS BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH? COST OF LIVING IS AT A ALL TIME HIGH.
