The Army’s top senior enlisted leader, Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Grinston, is encouraging soldiers to apply for food stamps, among other measures, as they face difficulties fighting inflation under the Biden administration.

“With inflation affecting everything from gas prices to groceries to rent, some Soldiers and their families are finding it harder to get by on the budgets they’ve set and used before. Soldiers of all ranks can seek guidance, assistance, and advice through the Army’s Financial Readiness Program,” Grinston said in a message to soldiersIn the message in which he advises soldiers on where they and their families can seek financial help, he wrote, “SNAP is a U.S.

Grinston’s guidance to soldiers also comes as the Biden administration has sent billions of financial assistance to Ukraine for its war with Russia and prepares to request $13.7 billion more. Mackenzie Eaglen, senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and John Ferrari, a retired U.S. Army major general, recentlyThe Defense Department’s flat-footed response to inflation will result in a real—and cumulative—pay cut for service members. This won’t ease the crisis in military recruiting. The armed forces are likely to miss recruitment targets again next year, and therefore shrink at a time of heightened global risks.

The new woke military. We are ripe to be attacked.

Joe's economic malaise

Jami_USA We don’t have money for you private, we are spending money on illegals and Ukraine. Take your vaccine and shut up!!

That’s because Saudi Don the Con removed their benefits. He hates our military and called them suckers.

How did this despicable situation come to be? For Decades: GOP Obstruct Dem Legislation that Helps People, GOP Constituents start feeling pain and complain, GOP blame Dems. Let's look at this MAGA GOP Voting Record Report Card. A Morally Bankrupt Legacy Against Human Dignity.

...or they could just give them a raise plus cost of living adjustments. With the defense budget being the size that it is, a raise in salary for military personnel should be an easy thing to do. 🤔

Unlikely that any service members need food stamps. Inflation isn't that bad. When prices go up, drive a little less. Stop eating in restaurants. Travel less. My life is still peachy despite inflation. And I'm not rich.

askerler baydın rejiminden rahatsız

you realize inflation is a pandemic induced economic phenomenon, right. the whole world from all parts europe, asia, africa, australia, south america - every continent except antracita - is suffering inflation small consolation, but usa is best ahead of the curve w/recovery rn

Look back to the last time … another democrat potus and congress. Remember peanut boy?

FirstUSAFirst Maybe the Ukraine can help our soldiers out with a few bucks... 😜

We should start a GO FUND ME . Like The Rich in Martha's Vineyard did for the illegal. Maybe they can have food or clothing

The new Army slogan, “Risk your life for food stamps!”

Most will not qualify.

This happened to young military back when I was in………during………um……..the Carter Administration. Just coincidental………

Thee Acts of Treason by the Biden Admin. against Our Finest Men and Women of our Military forcing them to use Food Stamps is inconceivable!. Then giving Billions to Terroristic Countries. And Paying off Non G. Agencies to through our General Elections. All by design!

Wtf

This is SHAMEFUL

How many billion have we sent Ukraine?

What are we up to on money flushed down the toilet, I mean sent to Ukraine?

Trump lost bahahaha bahahaha

They are getting consistent raises: Year 2020202120222023 Pay Raise3.1%3.0%2.7%4.6%C

This is crazy while these crooked politicians are raising their salaries constantly and leave our Soldiers and Senior Citizens on Social Security behind and can’t afford anything !! They live paycheck to paycheck!! It’s a disgrace even the illegal aliens gets more!!

This is what pathetic leadership looks like.

Maybe don't get married/have kids until you're E-6

The Anti-Antifa are super triggered lately. I can't get enough of it. Let's go Dark Brandon!

Our military families deserve better! The stress placed on these families is unrelenting. Now, with Bidenflation added to the mix, military families are suffering! Pay raises are in order, Joe! POTUS

Why does the GOP vote against Veterans than?

Ridiculous solution.

Awesome way to piss folk off. Send your wife to stand in line to apply for food stamps? I see a Red Wave.

Here we go again

They have been on food stamps for decades. Repub's 'low taxes' mantra has consequences.

Our troops have to apply for food stamps while Biden sends billions to Ukraine. Taking care of their country over ours.

Nothing like taking care of the people you want to defend our country Joe.

Absolutely disgraceful

Not counting on it but still cheering for dem and rino pols to soon be feasting on prison food.

Did you cover this under Trump, too?

I'm sorry, is $800 billion not enough? Maybe cut back on the avocado drones and blackhawk lattes.

Bbbut billions to Ukraine!!!🤡🌍

Increase their pay ..its called Cost of Living Adjustment COLA. Were giving Billions away to Ukraine, Billions for Illegal immigrants. These are OUR Soldiers. Add COLA JoeBiden DeptofDefense WhiteHouse

Why are we giving the military almost a trillion dollars annually a taxpayer money for these guys to be on food stamps

Take the jab, or else, follow my orders, be ready to die… oh, by the way, beg for some food stamps 🇺🇸 Disgrace

Shamefull

CarolinFlorida That just makes you sick to your stomach

Parent here of an active duty army soldier stationed in Germany at this very moment - my son asks for lunch money pretty often. He is stationed in a small town, with nothing to spend it on. Why is he not getting paid enough to survive Reprehensible….

We qualified for food stamps and WIC while in the Army in the 80s. We refused. It's a shame that our military is paid so little!!

As working with Soldiers, they do not qualify for food stamps under the SNAP income guidelines. They make too much money. This CSM is not in touch with the real world.

It's sad that most people in these comments thinks soldiers getting food stamps is something new. I get it, you don't know what you don't know but I also doubt you actually care

GreekSTL BuildTheWall The veterans. The homeless. The elderly. The underemployed. The LEGAL US CITIZENS! Choose any of these groups and HELP THEM instead of illegal aliens. The citizens of the United States could benefit from the funds being flourished upon the boarder crossers!

Military members may receive a 4.6% pay increase in 2023, according to a defense budget draft. It's the largest military pay raise in two years, but it might not be enough to keep up with inflation, which was 8.6% in June, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Sounds like a congressional problem to pay military enlisted personal a living wage. Don't blame Biden. I retired from the Air Force 29 years ago and it was a problem then.

Because democrats historically do not allocate money to the military.

Go to the border-get free meals, healthcare and be put up ⬆️ n a 5 star hotel!

Democrats are about to make it worse once they buy out all of our oil stock to replenish the Strategic Reserve that Brandon blew out his a$$ to China.

underpaying the soldier class in a dying empire seems like a good idea from my perspective

They’ll get food stamps and Americans won’t do a damn thing about the billions being laundered through the Ukraine and back into politicians pockets.

perhaps all patriotic Americans should ask Congress to give them all some extra money

Disgraceful! I appreciate their service!🇺🇸❤️🤍💙

The army is food stamps.

I say you can't fight for a country that refuses to fight for you. Stay out of the military until it learns to fight for Americans.

Tell them to try being a senior in this country.

But yet the government can vote to send billions of dollars to Ukraine hmm

Next the American people will be eating C rations in Joe Biden's America.

😡

Our armed services, the ppl who protect us and are willing to train for and give the ultimate sacrifice..should be supported better than any other profession in this country. We need all types of ppl to work for this country but armed services should be compensated above all else

LOL, Soldiers have needed food stamps from day one. Give me a break and stop pretending like Biden is making soldiers poor. The GOV, especially the GOP never wants to raise Military pay. Ridiculous reporting. Get a job and go find some real news.

Sounds like the military doesn't care too much for the dementia patient in charge lol

FJB

So degrading!

SMA lacks leadership. Absolutely reprehensible to ask those who sacrifice so much to go on food stamps. This is unacceptable. Go ahead and get to the position of attention while I talk to you sergeant major.

Oh nonsense.

Pitiful

Brandon Admin is just crushing it.

Seriously people. The economy will collapse. Will be historic. Just here warning because i see the risk for fascism if people are not aware.

2nd Worst Commander in Chief in my lifetime, next to the Obamanation of America.
