- B. -- everybody around the world is experiencing pay cuts. and for most they are not just a weeks worth pay but half of what they are used to making. and its a permanent change. Soldiers signed up for what their lives entail. Yes its a brave and ...respectable job....but they werent forced by anybody and they reap benefits nobody but military reap. So put on ur big girl panties and take the bullet like the rest of America and drop ur sense of entitlement. Ur medicals covered, ur housing is good and ur foods straight. Other homes are loosing health coverage just cuz they cant afford it. Military doesnt have to worry about that. Theres alot military is covered with that everyonne else isnt. And thats because of that contract and the sacrafices they signed up for. Just keepin it real, ur post is rude and pushy. And its not just our lives it URS and ur childs aswell. Remember that. Other husbands are doing for u and urs.....there is far more to our freedom than just the soldiers being deployed.
- C. --Man oh man, that is just wrong! Not a thank for her DH being brave enough to shed his life for yours, others and people he will never know. Shame on you! Yes, the nation is changing. Changing in a sad way. BUT I am thankful for the brave me...n and women out there that put there lives before ours to protect us. Whether it is a military person, police officer, fireman, etc... Going without pay or a reduction of pay for this service is wrong and ungrateful... A., please thank your DH for his service. He is a brave man and you are a brave woman for being a military wife.
- B. --Its nice that u point out Police Officers and Fire Fighters yet still obviously missed my point......here u mention other heros who not only have a permanent pay cut but are also loosing vital resources that keep them safe on the job and whom also are loosing jobs all together. Shame on u for not reading my post as it was meant to be read. My point is that the pitty party is far over worked. All of America is suffering. U will suffer one week of pay....while other heros in the world are laid off completely. Step outside the military box is what Im saying. ur entitled to the benefits u get that others dont but ur not entitiled to act as if my life depends on only ur husbands...its an entire system that works together. And by the way my brother and the father of my child fight for u and ur kids as ur husbands do for me and mine. Look at the picture as a whole.
- A. -- B. our hosuing is getting cut our medical is getting cut our whole lives are getting cut in half its not just pay its our whole life. Your not military wife and for you to say that this post is RUDE ITS REAL FUCKING LIFE. Yeah soliders ...sign on the line to protect AMERICAS FREEDOM cause it cost american bodies to keep our country at the rate its going even thou its going to down the shitter. I would have thought that you would atleast being my friend understand what that means. Yeah its a contract but you know what I dont see you out there working or wanting to go to war and keep America free. Not everybody can live off WELFAREwhich Americans soldiers pay taxes to supprot Welfare systems as well. Yeah I dont work because I have a brain problem and cant fucntion right but you dont see me collecting disability for my injurys I am sticking to the fact that god is one day going to heal me and things will get better. My big girl panties are strapped on. but just remember we are gettting cut now and soon it will be your turn. BECAUSE THATS RUN BY THE GOVERNMETN TOO.
- B. -- Ur no better than the cops wife who just found out her husband got laid off! Ur no better than the wife whos husband leaves for duty every day and she doesnt knw if he will make it home cuz he no longer gets to work with a partner due to pa...y cuts. Common. U still dont get it. Yes its sad. It is. But come at shit better and u will get a better response. Ur post started off non military.....well Im non military...U wanted to address me and lick shit witt me before u even knew where I stood in the subject. Reflect on ur post!!! Let tme be proud ur a military wife, dnt shame me with these temper tantrum posts!
- A.-- Im not acting like that and if thats the way you take it. then you take it. I simply asked for prayer for military to not have to be hit harder than they already are. thats not entitlment thats simply asking that the sacrifices that we alr...eady make having our loved ones gone for months and even a year or more that thier familes be able to be taken care of and not worry about being homeless while they are also worrying about if thier loved one is going to come home in a body bag or not. I never meant to start shit I simply asked for prayer and stated a fact that FREEDOM ISNT FREE IT comes with a price just like everything else. So to get into a heated debate about this is stupid What will happen will happen. and if I offened you I am sorry. But their is no hurt in asking for prayers.
- C.-- I am disgusted! Not getting paid is a whole lotta things. I think you need to take a step back and rethink what you have said. Because if you don't you are part of this "problem" that this country is bringing upon it's self. I don't think it is entitlement.I think it is owed. Tsk, tsk... :( No one was saying anyone was better or worse than others. That is just wrong to think.
- B. --C. ur so annoying......step off ur soap box and stop trying to read between the lines. every point that I made I stated very clearly. Tsk...Tsk! NOBODY shld have to go without pay! And u actually did stress that military expecially shld...nt have to! That u did make clear. And that then supports everything I was saying about military not being any more entitled than other heros who have lost pay and more! A., I hear where ur coming from butt this isnt the first time u have posted somethng similar to this post. Before I read ur post i felt compassion......but as I read ur post its like ur owed this cuz u do for us!! Humble baby!! Without military our nation wld crumble....this is a fact. And we need to take care of our front line....that being military. So yes, the entire nation Im sure is praying something resonable is worked out. And my prayers are even stronger for my family and loved ones struggling, thus being u included. Honey for bees is all!!! At the end of the day we are all sruggling together
- C.-- Thanks for calling names, so adult of you. If I annoyed you it's because I made a point. Not everyone can be like you apparently, thank goodness. You need to take the attitude out of your reply that is to someone who is just asking for prayers. You reply came out flaming at her and it was just wrong. So what if she need to state that she feels it's wrong. So what if you don't like it. SO WHAT if you think I am annoying. It's the american right. You scolded her for saying something that a lot of us are thinking.
- C. --I am all done :)
- A. --B. I get what you are saying. and I am the person that I am and yes I make mistakes and sometimes dont read what I write. I am only human and by all means not perfect at all. And me being who I am is never going to change. I still believ...e in a free America even thou it isnt free. alot of people want to cling to hope that everything is going to get better.and like I said before I never meant to hurt anyone by what I said. There is still a thing called freedom of speech. You know I have been your friend when you have been down and needed help same as you being my friend when I have needed you. I completly get that sometimes I can be brash but thats they way I am and I dont expect you to feel sorry for me or anything at all. I have alot on my plate with dealing with the death of my father, Me having to go into another brain surgery, and my husband deploying plus being able to raise my little boy into a decent man that doesnt end up on the wrong side of the law or whatever. so if anybody takes offense to my posts then I guess take me off your page. But most of you on here know that I am not here to offened you or hurt you. I am kind and caring person and for many of you I will always be that way towrad you. To everybody May God bless you and your familes. From the bottom of my heart.
- B. --Calling u a name.....lol no I didnt call u a scab, I simply stated that u were annoying. And yes, the way I read the post of someone whom I knw very well, I knew the way it was being said. And I addressed someone I knew about something that... was said and sadly it was public and open for someone like u to put ur two cents in. A. knows what she said and meant and what part rubbed me wrong. Who are u??? Lol And no ur not annoying because u have made a point....thats just it. Ur annoying cuz everything ur saying is a waste of my time since ur obviously too stupid to understand what really was just said! Fact is I was addressing someone I knew, not someone who doesnt matter. So yes, be done!
- C. --ROFL!!!
- C. --Oh I thought of something! I wonder if welfare will be cut... Hmmm...
- B. --If u want me off ur page lol go for it. but u know me better than that. Im not gonna resort to something as childish as deleting u. Lol Im gonna approach u about it and we are gonna hash it out like every other disagreement we have had. I k...now u have alot on ur plate and most of the time ur loopy when makin posts lately. I wldnt be a real friend if I didnt tell u straight up how i thought it sounded. I carry my attitude strong. Love me or hate me! Im not changing either. C. was right in only one thing that she said....its not entitled its earned. Those two are soooooo different. And yes ur husband has earned his paycheck. Majority of us even non military support that its not ok! And I knoow u too well to not have picked up on the way that post was put!!

well, I have ADD and wasn't able to read all of it, but, I absolutely DO NOT think that our Military Service Men and Women should have there pay withheld from them. It irritates me and pisses me off. They suffer so greatly for protecting our country, the least we can do is provide their paycheck for them so that they can provide for their families.
Here is what one of my FB friend wrote, she says it better than I, but, so much truth in her statement.
"Let's send these kids to to a war without just cause, make them serve more tours than their psyches can handle, don't give them proper post-war care and then yank their pay just to thump your chests over political issues that barely make a dent. If I hear "It's a matter of principle," one more time I'm going to throw up. You, gentlemen, have no principles."
One of the qualities that I have towards Human Beings is Compassion and Empathy, I have great Compassion and Empathy and Respect and Love for our Military Service Men/Women. I have family members and friends that have served. I almost became a military wife.
They deserve the utmost respect from the "people" of this country.
I understand that times are tough in this country, but, take a look at who the "people" put in to run it and take over and "make it better." Well, that was the people's choice. He ain't no Messiah that can make it all better. Has he "created" jobs like he said, he was going to, HELL to the N O!
As far as Military Soap Box, that is disheartening. Shame on them. I say, they need more empathy and compassion.
We have become such a self absorbed nation, it is all about, Me Me Me! It needs to stop.
I'll leave on this note...."Trump for President Baby!" He feels the way that so many of us feel. He see's that we are circling the drain.
Not sure what it is that you are looking for. There is too much emotion and they are all too sensitive and/or defensive. Not going to get anywhere with that.
As far as the issues, the republicans in the house passed a bill for a temporary budget that will continue to pay the military. The senate, i.e. democrats, won't deal with it, won't come up with any suggestions, and Obama has said that if it gets to him he will veto it. So, you got the children in control, and if they don't get their way they're going to take their toys and go home.
Sad to say, but we're in big trouble.
As I said on facebook, I am having a hard time responding to this. Military benefits are great, but do not come even close to balancing the risk, trauma and heartache of being in the military or having family or friends in the military. You could have offered me a million dollars, a hundred million or more and it still would not make it worth the thought that my dad might not come home from the Gulf War. I thank God everyday that my dad made it back to us. My heart aches for all of the families and friends of those that are serving, those that come back injured or don’t make it back at all. Much of my childhood had my dad away from us for 8 plus months a year, I greatly respect the sacrifice that he made and that our family made for him to stand up to protect our country and people who couldn’t protect themselves. Whatever the pay that is given is nowhere near what is earned. Yes it is a hard economy right now and it sucks not to be able to afford things, layoffs are difficult but we can make it through. Pay cuts, forced time off, layoffs, etc. are far different from working and not getting paid…much less risking your very life and not getting paid. It is hard enough for our soldiers, home and abroad; restricting pay is more than they need to deal with. They have families to support and not having money, though low on their list of concerns is not a concern that they should even have to entertain. My prayers go out for our entire country, but also for those that are serving in our military, their families and friends. To any military active, retired, reserved, family and friends: Thank you for your service! You are respected and your service appreciated beyond what you may realize, God Bless!
It sounds like the typical "I'm right. You're wrong. We cannot ever meet in the middle" conversation that seems to go on with everything related to politics. It's so sad because unless someone is willing to admit the other side might have some part of a point, it will only get worse.
