Pay the man a fair wage!

Bush shows more disdain for our military

3.5% raise too much for Bush

Talk about lousy timing. With President Bush's popularity scraping bottom in opinion polls, with U.S. casualties rising in Iraq in a force surge that has stretched tours to 15 months, the Bush administration has said it "strongly opposes" key military pay and benefit gains tossed into the fiscal 2008 defense bill.
What needs to be said about a 'Commander-in-Chief' who would quibble about a 1/2 percent difference in an increase in the wage of man who is fighting and dying for him?

Really - How do you defend that?

Filius, this is another clear example of them 'loathing' our military.
