Obama plans on cutting military pay raise in 2014...

It seems very inappropriate to inform Congress you are cutting military pay raises at the same time you are asking them for permission to put the military in harm’s way. Of course we shouldn’t be surprised. Obama really hates the military.

Via Newsmax:

President Obama has told Congress he will cap next year’s
pay raise for U.S. military personnel at 1 percent instead of boosting
pay by 1.8 percent as called for by a federal law.

The president’s move will negatively impact American combat troops scheduled to remain in Afghanistan through 2014.

The federal law says military pay raises must be based on the
Employment Cost Index compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which
ties military raises to private sector pay growth. Under that formula,
military personnel should be getting a 1.8 percent pay raise beginning
in January 2014, CNS News reported.

But the law also states that the president can inform Congress of an
alternative pay adjustment “if because of national emergency or serious
economic conditions affecting the general welfare, the president
considers the pay adjustment which would otherwise be required by this
section in any year to be inappropriate.”
