Obama Gives This Insulting Present To Our Heroes In Uniform In the past few years, it has become clear that the Obamas do not have a vested interested in supporting our military. This sentiment is reflected in the fact that Military service members will only receive a 1% raise in 2015. With exception, of course, of the General and Flag officers, who will receive no increase. So what does this mean for our men in uniform? Most of them will receive only an additional $20 to $50 in pay. The annual adjustments to basic allowance for subsistencea monthly nontaxable cash payment to military members intended to be used to buy foodare linked to changes in food prices as measured by the annual change in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Cost of Food at Home Index, a report from the pentagon said. From the beginning of October 2013 through the end of September 2014, the index rose by 2.9 percent, forming the basis for the increased [Basic Allowance for Subsistence] rates. What do you think? Does the military deserve more pay?
