The President told the troops while in Iraq  that he gave them their biggest pay increase in history...10%. They deserve it and will be looking forward to their increased check. At times, I maybe negative about Trump but as the year ends I can only say good job Commander In Chief taking care of the military with this increase. 

It is pathetic that the military did not receive a raise for 10 years. Thanks Mr President for caring enough to not continue the exploitation of our  troops. 

““You protect us. We are always going to protect you. And you just saw that, because you just got one of the biggest pay raises you’ve ever received,” he said. “You haven’t gotten one in more than 10 years — more than 10 years. And we got you a big one. I got you a big one.”"

“‘They said: ‘You know, we could make it smaller. We could make it 3%. We could make it 2%. We could make it 4%.’ I said: ‘No. Make it 10%. Make it more than 10%.””
