Our Dear Embattled Leader loves his troops

And his love is so nourishing that he is compelled to keep them from the temptations of Mammon.
In the veto threat against the National Defense Authorization Act, the White House says they're opposed to two things: Increased survivor benefits of $40 a month to spouses of those who lost someone in military service, and a pay increase to all personnel, across the board, just half a percent higher than what the president endorsed.
Then again maybe it's because when you are on the battleline, you don't need money and when you are dead you no longer work for the government. And if they don't like it, they can always sign up with Blackwater.
