This will surely be a heated debate. As leaders we are looking for ways to be smart with our money, so why do we all get full BAH and BAS when we are deployed? We are provided with housing and food without any costs to us overseas. So should we be given BAH and BAS while deployed?

When should we seriously start talking about putting a great deal more in military members pockets? Seems we're always trying to find ways to penny pinch the working man... Who's getting rich off BAH and BAS?

TSgt Joshua Lynch that single SPC who never had a job pay more than $5 an hour. In some areas their BAH is more than their pay! Yes it is not millions but I can tell you their eyes light up like they won the lottery!

At this point, im sure if they could have cut that then they would have. No one in congress wants to be the guy who voted to take something away from a soldiers at war that could hurt his family.

Yes, but the services did the handing out of pink slips and are the face of those actions. Congress will try to keep their hands clean because they want the military's support during the election season.
