A brigadier (one-star) general at Fort Drum, with 16 years of service, is earning $131,652 a year plus a housing allowance of $2,247 per month.

I feel the .gov should be doing more for vets and vet benefits--much more.

What ought to be cut and slashed to the bone is military contractors like Halliburton and others that have been feasting high on the hog for the past decade.

A Navy Admiral proposed reducing the Army to 290,000. That will be awesome, the next time we have a conflict the Navy and USMC can take the one year tours.....

I sort of have mixed feelings on this. I have seen a lot of waste like 27 generals and their staffs on one camp in Iraq seemed a bit excessive.

You qualified for WIC because they didnt count your BAH and BAS as part of your income. Had they counted that you would not have qualified. Most other non mil folks who qualify have to do it with their entire income. This is a pet peeve of mine as it burdens an already abused system and means that the help isnt getting where it needs to go.
