House appropriators and Senate defense planners both backed a 4.6% pay raise for servicemembers next year, signaling broad support for the largest increase in military paychecks in 20 years, but not more to account for rising inflation.
On Tuesday morning, in its initial draft of the defense budget proposal for fiscal 2023, members of the House Appropriations Committee included the 4.6% pay increase — equal to the White House’s request unveiled earlier this spring — as part of their $762 billion spending plan.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL At least it's something. The pay raises to the military should be tied to the inflation rate.

It's better than nothing, but it doesn't help us keep apace of inflation. The politicians need to look after the taxpayers before voting themselves any raises, and among those taxpayers are the dedicated life-payers: those who serve and those who have served in the military.
