It was probably me. Was it in a thread you started? could you find it, please?

This is the kind of stuff (and I hope it's rare) that is taylor-made for sending to your congressmen. Make sure they know we don't like it and expect them to do something about it.

Nothing will be done to correct this practice.It is Marine Corp policy. And if you think the people of this country do care about the members of our Armed Forces just go to the nearest VA Hospital and take a good hard look around. What a freaking joke! "To care for those who have borne the battle".......my ass.

This guy's Army, not Marine. It's not Army policy, is it?

Sorry. Didn't realize there were two conversations going on. The Army guy was overpaid & the bureaucracy's too slow. I don't get what's 'unbelievable' about it. They didn't stop combat pay.

Wolv, do you have a link about the Marine?
