| All I have to say is that this is a foolish argument by the Bush Admin. Whats 250+ Million when your ass is getting shot at. If I was still in I would scratching my head wondering what the. But I digress as I can see the opposite argument, if 3.5 is good why not 4.0 and if 4.0 is good why not 4.5, so on and so. I personally would rather see an increase in combat pay though if that means a smaller increase in base pay. Then again when I was deployed I saw my pay nearly double to over 4 grand per month because of per diem, hazardous duty pay, no taxes, and although I technically didn't live in a house I still was able to procure pay for housing. Then again I was active reserves. |
