Our military is so spoiled!

[kcmastr]

@TheDonnaEl  How so? Please explain!

[eljans2008]

Splitting military retirement pay is not mandated by the USFSPA. Awarding a portion of the member's retired pay is up to the courts. They will treat like property in a civilian divorce. Your divorce must show you were given a portion of the retirement and it must be written as a percentage. If married to a military member 10years the courts decided if you're entitled to 1/3 of military retirement. It must state in your decree that you have been awarded 33% of the spouses retired pay.

You are partially correct! We dont need a lesson on division. We are affected by this and know how it works. USFSPA gave the (state)courts the ability to take our hard earned retainer pay. It can be a percentage or actual dollar amt. You can be married less than 10 yrs. Get your facts straight!

I'm pessimistic. I guess that happens when you get old.

[kcmastr]

Its easy to be pessimisic but have hope and unify to fight for what you believe in! Get creative, make a video telling everyone how unjust his law is!

Suck it up guys and gals, we're F*cked...Isn't it great that I pay 49% to my ex and her new husband, I'll bet they laugh every month when the check shows up...

Try coming home to an empty house, no wife, no kids, no furniture...NOTHING! WhereDADDY org

Seems so unfair. I really feel for people who have to experience this.

[bamawild1]

Needs a better premise or shock factor . how about a split screen of saving private ryan beach scene and a spouse sleping with every one in her apartment complex. Then sending him a letter saying she feels her contributions require him to pay 50% of his current pay and any fuure income for life!!! or show her married to one guy divorced and the judge saying 50%. The ner at the alter again and at divorce again 50% then rolling in money and last a shot of the homless veterans she divorced.

I'm active duty Navy. I went on a deployment to Diego Garcia and came home divorced. We are *not* spoiled. There is a whole lot of sacrifice involved when we *serve* our country.

Not suprising, Republicans appoligize to British Petroleum and offer blank checks on wars.

[twitchrdz956]

we should just kill our ex's new husbands in front of them then have em beg for their lives and make them apologize for ruining ours before we slit their jugular and watch them bleed out like the dirty little piggies they are... just brainstorming here.

[slmjoyner]

This happens far too often. It has to STOP! The USFSPA must be repealed or MAJOR modifications that benefit the military member must happen. Everyone needs to keep writing their elected REP regarding this. Don't let the issue die in their mind. Let's keep up with it and don't give up.
