If you were told your salary was going to be increased by 10%...

..But in reality it was just over 4.5 (and had been since a long time ago) would you be upset?

That's just what Trump told the soldiers in Iraq. Quite apart from it being Congress and not the POTUS signs it off anyway, he basically told the men and women who put their neck on the line (unlike he ever has done) they're getting a pay rise that is more than twice the amount it is. Oh, and if you were in the US military before Trump took office, he said you're a 'sucker'..

Winning!!!

Gotta love the guy !
I mean he breaks his Christmas holiday....moaning that it's the Democrats fault all hell is invading the country because they won't pass funding for his wall.
And later in the same DAY, goes to visit troops in foreign fields and tells them they're only getting HALF the pay increases they were expecting !

Under Obama our salary increase was 2.4% or something. Pay increases barely cover inflation. This isn't new. So if 4.5% is the increase, that's not a bad deal. Speaking out of his ass is the only irritation.

Sidenote. We don't join for the money.

Indeed, but to Trump it's all about the money.. And 'his' military.

they've gotten a pay raise for the past 11 years. He lied to them and said they hadn't. What is wrong with these soldiers for being star struck by this moron?

Unconscionable.

If you really want to we can rehash all of odumbo's lies. Those actually fucked up people's lives.

HerKing · 61-69, M

@katielass But Obama... Trump has told over 7500 since taking office..and counting. But now he lies to the soldiers who didn't have bone spurs, not even fictitious ones. I'm sure you think Trump knows more about warfare than Mattis who resigned.

@HerKing Obviously, you don't comprehend how stupid you sound. No one tells more lies than odumbo and the dumtards. No one. You look like one of the bleating sheep who doesn't know the shearer is right behind you. Hopeless fool.

HerKing · 61-69, M

@katielass you're under the misunderstanding that you have a modicum of intelligence.. Allow me to disavow you of that...you're an idiot.

I would think the man in charge was a moron.....and in this case, I’d be right.

sounds like you are proud to have military members receiving welfare

And he suggested half this country (Democrats) don't support their efforts.
