Spence, I think you'll be hard pressed to find anyone in here arguing that the military doesn't deserve pay increases. I think JD is referrring to Congress voting themselves a pay increase. In most jobs, increases are comensurate with performance and the overall profitability of the company. Can Congress really argue that they deserved a raise based on their performance or the financial health of the country?
