Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That question was addressed in the article.
the issue of back pay remains complex and largely unaddressed in the immediate details provided by the officials. They did not specify commitments regarding back pay for the time veterans were unjustly separated from service, which suggests that further clarifications from the Department of Defense might be necessary.
That's a lot of words for "lolno."
REAL Patriots who support our Troops call them LOSERS and SUCKERS!
/s or right wing troll? It's hard to tell the difference sometimes
I'm VERY clearly a REAL Republican because I LOVE Insulting our Troops while claiming i'm a Patriot!
My husband is a GUN, and I am an EAGLE WEARING A HAAAAAATTTT
WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETERRRRRRR
I really want a Big Mac now.
Big Mac says nope.
I'm pretty sure this is Poes Law
I checked his history.. and I still can't honestly tell lol
It's sarcasm lol. They're committed to the bit, I respect it
If he's able to do it now he's been about to do it the last 3 years. He held their rights hostage for power
Better than not doing it at all
No it's not. Anyone holding people's rights hostage for power is psychopathic
Putin says unranians don't deserve the power to light up their homes, or the power to have anything more than rubble..
Are you calling his eminence, Putin, a psychopath?
Unranians? Like, folks from Uranus?
Biden is holding peoples rights hostage
regardless of what biden is or isnt doing, trump would just remove the rights entirely, so still gotta vote for biden
Either way rights are being taken
(supposedly) taking and then giving back is better than permanently removing, no matter how you look at it
Yes, it literally is.
Doing it late is bad, as you describe.
Doing it never is worse.
Even if this were true (which it's not) it's still better to have rights than to not have them
The ultimate end-goal of a president’s first term is to be elected for a second term, and we Americans have very short attention spans. Stuff like this that seems like it should obviously have been done as soon as someone with the will to change it comes into power is more politically beneficial to do in an election year. It’s a shit system, certainly, but even the (relatively speaking) “good politicians” have to operate within it.
They can't do everything everywhere all at once.
Then suddenly when they need votes they find the time
I'm happy they did the right thing. I lived under Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump. (Don't really remember Bush Sr or Regan personally) And one team helps us, and the other fucks us over. I will remember this in the voting booth.
They did the right thing when they needed votes, not because it was the right thing to do.
