For 2007 the military was given a 2.2% pay raise. Whereas the average cost of living increase is 3%. Seems pretty unfair that we are deploying so many of our troops for over a year at a time and exposing them to extreme danger and then not rewarding them for being the small minority of our population who volunteers to protect the rest of us knowing full well of the possible danger.

Congress mandates military pay raises based upon civilian wages. Press your legislators for an increase in the minimum wage and our military will also reap the benefits.

Congress. Here is an interesting tidbit for you - there are only two members of Congress who have family members serving in Iraq.

Congress, but they'd rather give their rich ***' raises more often than they deserve. At least more often and more substantial that those they give to people dying for the country. Corrupt bastards.
