And it's being paid for by reducing the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) and Tricare, both of which are programs for service members which aren't taxed while the 2.1% pay increase is taxed. So if you are in the military, remember to specify if you want Trump to lube you up before he [BLEEP] you over, or whether you want the reach-around while he [BLEEP] you over.

Trump didn't write the bill, John McCain did

Then next time you might want to look at the first word in the title of your thread before you start spouting your easily disputed [BLEEP].

If it's easily disputed then why did you blame Trump?

By the way, it looks like Drifter was just quoting Trump.

Um, no. BAH reduction is off the table, in fact, increased this year. Tricare co-pays will increase for pharmacy and some referrals, but the trade off is less restrictions and greater freedom of care.

You'll have to forgive DF, he comes from a tiny socialist country whose Armed Forces couldn't fight their way out of a [BLEEP] house. If it wasn't for NATO and the USA, his country would be speaking German right now.

You do realize that the Netherlands is not a socialist country, that WW2 in Europe was fought mostly by Soviet and British/Canadian troops, and that NATO was formed four years after the conclusion of WW2? 

Not that it matters to the discussion at hand of course, which is one of the service members being thrown a tiny morsel to chew on while the GOP gleefully rams their hard rod of fees where the sun does not shine.

Look DF, I think everyone agrees that this raise is peanuts compared to the $40 the previous administration was able to give away, but it's a start.

Canada sent about 780k (Why not pick another ally?)
Brits sent about 4.6 million
America sent about 2.1 million (to Europe)

The US essentially kept Russia mobile with vehicles, armed Britain and Russia, destroyed Japan, and then swept up the Nazis with the invasion of Normandy. Russia definitely contributed more than anyone to the European-side of the war. But they were back-and-forth with the eastern edge until Normandy. After that, everything came tumbling down quickly. 

He said the US saved you which is correct. He didn't say they "mostly" fought in Europe. The US did save you, because without them, Russian couldn't move their armies and didn't have the resources to continue it, and Britain didn't have the equipment.

Also, Trump is expanding Gitmo to include comfortable new facilities. The guest list is writing itself.
