"Yes Mildred, He Does Hate This Country"

Obama exhibited disrespect and dishonor for the US military and US veterans since taking over the Presidency in 2008. Although his budget deficits were the highest in US history, he was more than happy to cut the military’s pay:

While shouting that the minimum wage for illegal aliens working at McDonalds should be $15 an hour, President Obama used a loophole in the US Code deter a pay raise to the military.  The lower pay increase translates to a Pay Grade E-4 (Corporal, Petty Officer 3d Class, Specialist 4, Senior Airman) with less than three years in service will earn less than $3 an hour. Under the 2016 pay scale, a Pay Grade E-1 undergoing recruit training will be paid roughly $2.15 an hour.

According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities 340,000 veterans received public money for housing in 2013. And, 900,000 veterans lived on food stamps. About 5,000 active duty troops were also receiving food stamps. 

Obama had no problem cutting military pay while keeping unionized workers’ pay untouched.  He also had no problem cutting solders’ pay even while they were serving on the front line.

It is also no surprise that Obama’s spending on the military is at record lows.  The US spent more on defense in the Reagan years at about $1.1 trillion annually, on average.  The US military budget was $917 billion annually during the Carter years and $761 when George W. Bush was in office.  However, Obama proposed lowering military spending to $610 billion per year starting in 2017.  Defense expert Justin Johnson said, “As a percent of government spending or total economy, the US has not spent so little on national defense since the end of World War II.”

He is the Worst. President. Ever
