Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), chair of the House Armed Services Committee, slammed President Biden as “offensive and wrong” for objecting to a provision in the annual defense bill that grants a major pay raise to junior enlisted troops.
The White House Office of Management and Budget said in a Tuesday statement that it “strongly opposes making a significant, permanent change to the basic pay schedule” before an upcoming military compensation review.
Rogers, however, said the nearly 20 percent pay raise for junior troops was included in the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) because many service members “are relying on food banks” and other benefits to eat.
