Whether military personnel make enough money to raise their kids and support a family is beside the point - maybe they don't, but even if they did, a 3% raise is ridiculous. I worked for many years doing research for the military and we got a minimum of 6% a year, depending on performance. Last year I got 10%. But I guess the people developing military science are somehow more important than those risking their lives... :shrug:
And sponge, tuna is expensive, but instead of using illegals to bring the cost down, you should just eat less. It is full of mercury and not really good for your health :SIB
