Title: Obama to Screw the Troops for His Wall Street Backer
Post by: sargentodiaz on August 27, 2015, 12:21:21 PM
Guess whose been a big donor to Obama? And guess who'll be in the cat seat if the Pentagon's proposal for future military pensions comes into effect? BlackRock. Find out about them @ http://www.blackrock.com/investing/home?cid=ppc:blackrock_us:google:BlackRock&gclid=CJTO-6OgyccCFdgBgQodXDwBbg&gclsrc=aw.ds

Under the details of the Pentagon plan, the federal government would divert 3 percent of service members’ pay into a 401(k)-style plan that would be managed largely by BlackRock, a financial firm whose executives helped bankroll President Barack Obama’s election campaigns.

Okay, so perhaps diverting some of their less-than-sterling salaries into a private retirement fund isn't a bad idea. My thought is – if this is a good idea, why not do it for ALL government employees? And members of Congress? After all, if it's good enough for the men and women who defend this country, it should be good enough for all.

The military is doing a # on its own troops.

Afghanistan's Kunduz Province, 2011:  decorated Green Beret Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland confronted Afghan police commander Abdul Rahman & shoved him to the ground for raping a 12 yr. old boy.  In this PC world, Sgt. Martland was involuntarily discharged.  He had been in special forces for 11 years.  Martland's team member, Daniel Quinn, was also disciplined, & he quit the army. 

Sgt. Martland appealed, & on Sept 14, 2015, the Army rejected his appeal.

Quote
“Consequently, your request for an appeal and continued service is disapproved.”

Heartbreaking to do this # on a dedicated & decorated American Green Beret & one of America's finest.

Due to heavy Congressional pressure, the Army is delaying SFC Martland's idscharge.
