i'd imagine it's a small cost of living raise for the military, since the govt already said there was no increase in the cost of living. military should be pleased they got something that soc sec recipients were told wasn't happening. does the military give up a lot? absolutely. but do keep in mind, it's a volunteer force-when you enlist, you know exactly what you're signing up for. no one who joins is under the impression they will get rich working for uncle sam as a soldier/sailor.
