Do cons support Obama for raising salaries and health care for the military?
Or do they oppose it just because it's Obama?
Be honest now.
@buck: Cons is to conservatives as libs is to liberals as ignorance is to you. Thanks for clearing up the question for me. I hope you can start supporting the troops at some point in your life.
Buck: Thank you for your service. I support you getting the best health care Obama can provide you. I'm sorry you didn't get it sooner.
Pete V: Best answer so far. Thanks for your thoughtfulness.

I'm English and know nothing about this planned raise. Politically I class myself right of centre, to most libs that would make me a con.
The policy that you mentioned sounds commendable, Anybody who is prepared to die for their country, regardless of which party governs it deserves a higher than average standard of living. If they are wounded serving that country [even under a government they may have voted against] then that country should do everything in it's power to help that person.
With the money that has recently being spent on bailing out the finance sector, they could have probably found a cure for death by now! Therefore spending a lousy million dollars to keep our defence personnel in the best possible health is a million dollars that should be spent almost without question.

Obama is ALWAYS talking about what he WANTS to do.
Let's see what he does. I think the military should be well compensated. Especially since O's not bringing them home anytime soon. What I don't know is if they already are well compensated. They DID choose the job.
Any other President, I wouldn't think twice. But I don't know how much I like the idea of Obama having any influence on the military.

The military gets an annual raise every year. I don't agree with a lot of the things Obama says, but I agree with this idea.

Nope. the "cons" support raising salaries and health care for the dead beats in society. True conservatives have always supported the military. Libs oppose the military. Always have.

"Cons"? Convicts? Convicts can't vote.
Do YOU support the fact that Buckwheat told our al qaida enemies they can take over Iraq next year?

How much?
Edit: Your link doesn't include an amount. He must be talking about their normal annual raise.
