DoD Statement on Family Separation Allowance and Imminent Danger Pay

In April, after the President's Budget was submitted, Congress authorized an increase in both the Family Separation Allowance (on a worldwide basis) and Imminent Danger Pay and legislated that these increases would expire on Sept. 30, 2003.  The department is aware of the problem that would result for those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan if these allowances were allowed to expire.  This is an issue of targeting those most deserving, and certainly people serving in Iraq and Afghanistan are in these categories.  We intend to ensure they continue to receive this compensation at least at the current levels.

There are many articles claiming that the troops in harm's way in Iraq and Afghanistan are going to have their pay docked. Bunk.

Shame on anyone for believing similar press accounts. The wankers are working overtime to undermine the troops these days.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

DoD, of course (hitting forehead)! Mega-pinging the Freep 'press' to pass the word.

Night, Sweetie.

Thank you so much for proving the liar are in fact liars. The left NEVER tell the truth.

I knew it was crapola as soon as I read the report. If it don't sound right, it ain't.

Great job of exposing the Press for what we know them as..... LIARS,

But if Clinton was in office they would be heaping praise upon the Administration for providing for the troops

I hate the press

This media is getting worse every day. Why do they continually lie about these things?

[NEWwoman]

Just heard a story of soldiers pay getting cut on the news. Wow! This bias is getting worser and worser...

[radu]

D*mn the wankers! I'm more than happy to help expose their lies. This is an excellent find, RC.

Off to e-mail so it'll be sitting in in-boxes first thing in the morning. :-)

Thanks Ragtime
I've emailed this off to several others who feel they need to trash the military & this administration. I love when they get caught in another lie

FYI..

[JohnHuang2]

Thanks.

[MEG33]

The inaccurate statement of fact is causing fear and resentment among the military and their families..wonder why it persists?...What possible motive could someone have!

[JohnHuang2]

And our wonderful, "unbiased" press won't lift a finger to dispel the lies and ease the concern.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

If it don't sound right, it ain't.

Bingo. You can count on it with this military leadership.

This was all started by an article in Army Times, last month I think. Everyone knows the DOD budger ends every Sept., they took it upon themselves to suppose it would not be reinstated.
