It is irrelevant how much retired disabled veterans earn. Veterans, male or female, are members of less than 1 percent of our society that serve our nation in the armed forces. Case by case basis? You in the 99%? Vets, especially disabled and retired, fully deserve what they have been contractually guaranteed by DoD and the USG. Suggesting that they deserve anything less is not worthy of discussion. Repeal the 30 year old, out-of-date USFSPA.
That law needs to taken on a case by case basis, the problem I have with military pensions is now if your rating is over 50% you receive both your military retirement plus your full tax free VA pension ( an AF senior master at 90% rating$ 2300 a month military pension+ $2100 a month VA pension for a grand total of $4400 a month for doing nothing, provided by the taxpayers at $53,000 a yr is it any wonder why thegoverment cant pay its bills, oh they also receive Social Security also its criminal!
Let's all not forget to keep writing our elected REPS and tell them this law needs REPEALED or major changes must finally benefit the military member. Re-classification from property to "INCOME" would be a good start seeing how everyone but our state divorce courts and the federal law thinks that MRP is a pension and marital property. It is income earned after retirement and when you are divorced any and all income made by a person should be theirs to keep except for child support.
Furthermore, in presenting an ex post facto act for Executive Signature, the 97th Congress became an accessory and abettor to causing the President to violate his Oath of Office, also specified in the Constitution (Art 2, Sec 1:, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution). Notwithstanding, each and every President since Ronald Regan has also violated their Oath of Office by allowing the unconstitutional USFSPA to remain in statute!
Retention pay is a form of an Insurance Policy. The government makes a reduced monthly payment to maintain their Insurance (military members off active duty after 20 years) in the event they would be needed at a later date. Since most Americans prefer to have a choice whether or not to join the military and not be automatically drafted upon graduating from high school or college, the All Volunteer Forces was initiated.
Military retainer pay is not a pension. This monthly pay is reduced pay (Retainer Pay) for agreeing (by contract) to serve in the All Volunteer Forces for a period of 20 or more years with the understanding that the service member will continue to stay in the military in a reserve/retired status and can be recalled to active duty. Retainer pay is a type of incentive that ensures the recruitment and retention of career minded individuals and avoids a mandatory draft.
Congress has misled them into attacking their former husbands/wife's veterans benefits and military retainer pay by overriding the Supreme Court ruling McCarty v. McCarty (states retainer pay cannot be divided to a former spouse in a divorce proceeding) by establishing a law (USFSPA) that reverses this Supreme Courts ruling and then backdates this law one day before the Supreme Courts ruling.
Too many people misunderstand the USFSPA and bash it with a poorly informed argument. It is a landmark good law and remains valid in 2009.
If civilian divorces result in pension division (which they do), military divorces should result in pension (which they do because of the USFSPA). If your wife got a portion of your retirement as part of the property division in the divorce, you should likewise be awarded a portion of her retirement as part of the property division. End of story.

CHANGE???? Change your pastor, is your white grandma allowed in your church, if McCain's faith leader said something about blacks and the noses they have, like the idiot said about Italians then it would be a whole different story, wake up people and change your minds.

HATE to tell you the Bad news chick a dee, but our retainer is not retirement,nor is it a "qualified pension plan" our Congress just got away with something and doesn't want to correct it
Does the military husband have to pay the spouse retirement. Are there any stipulations or could the wife just up and divorce you without grounds and get benefits. If that's the case, than choose your women carefully.
You didn't make it clear what your video response is about. Does Obama support the repeal?
I do not support an illegal war. Iraq was a bad decision made by a complete idiot. I don't wish ill of anyone in the military, but I do condemn a war that could have been avoided.
MAN...wat da fuck...diz sound like some ol bull shyt da FUCK his church gotta do wit anything...wat a dumb azz...but i feel u frank ma dog i feel u and i support da troops...stupid war but i support em!!!
I'll lay it out for you. A pastor is like a shepherd. A shepherd leads his flock. Obama chooses to follow this pastor(shepherd). Obama supports his message by continuing his association with this pastor. UNDERSTAND??? Wait, uhh tru dat, tru dat mothafucka; you feelin me now fool?? is that vernacular better.
Obama attends a church that is a bit separatist in it's doctrine. The guy who is the pastor is all about "blackness". They have changed their website from what it use to say. Now it is more white friendly but before it was pretty blatantly separatist and Obama's spiritual leader is a racist.

The U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 9 - No (Bill of Attainder) or ex post facto law shall be passed, explaining that the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the USA and it was written in the mid-late 1700s. When the 97th Congress enacted (Sep 1982) the USFSPA and sent it to then-President Reagan for signature, with the provision in the first sentence of its paragraph ©(1) that states, beginning after June 25, 1981, the 97th Congress violated the prohibition of Art 1, Sec 9.
