Congressman Blasts Colleagues [Money for active duty troops cut in secret back room deal]
When the House passed its bill back in May, troop pay was intact. When the surprise “conferenced” version popped up this week, it wasn’t. Both active duty pay and housing stipends had been reduced. And since I’m a member of the Armed Services Committee, I’m expected to sign off on the final bill and say these cuts are ok.

IIRC, so was health benefits.
SOB’s!
