In all my years in the military we only got 10% pay raises twice ... both times under Republicans.

We also got hazardous duty (jump pay) and combat pay doubled under Reagan.

Why any soldier, marine, Air Force or navy guys vote Democrat is beyond me but the navy guys, in particular, seem to lean left as a whole. Guess it has to do with their high LBGTQ enlistments.

What a shocker. Amazingly convenient for the people who wish to draw misguided inferences.

No, it was just as I said previously, and you’re, along with the fake news, misrepresenting his usual boisterous speech.

Maybe....just maybe....there are plenty of servicemembers who don't just blindly vote GOP because they see military pay raise is one issue of millions.

We got great raises under W....also wore down military manpower and equipment overdeploying to a disastrous conflict in Iraq.

I'd stay and keep arguing but gotta call my bank, they shorted me 7.4% of my new 2019 MAGA paycheck.

I linked to the White House’s website. Not a news site. Literally didn’t spin anything. Direct quotes.

What universe do you live in? He cited all the “low” numbers (which as discussed was higher than their actual raise) they could have received had he not fought for them, then said he fought for 10%, and then immediately congratulated them on their large raise. No transition or other language to make it seem that this is a continued fight or that their current 2.6% was just an appetizer for the real thing. The immediate congratulations more than heavily implies that he got them 10% (which he didn’t actually get them).

Also nice job ignoring the other lies he told

I take back my earlier statement. OP is not lying to prop up the trump administration. OP posing as trump supporter and is intentionally lying poorly so as to make trump’s supporters look like loons and soe more cross isle hatred. Pretty pathetic really.


The age of social media is a weird time.

Considering I’ve seen similar arguments from Trump supporters I know on Facebook, I’m gonna go with this guy probably believes this.

When Trump was in Iraq he said that he was giving them a 10 percent raise and it was the first raise in ten years. You can look it up. He said that.
