Dear Editor:

What government on earth chooses to harm the men, women, and families of its own armed forces by withholding their pay?

It was my long experience in our Army that I had two priorities: Accomplish The Mission and Take Care of the Troops. Sometimes that meant being far from home for a year at a time in a hostile place experiencing enemy fire and with only warm water in a canteen to drink. Sometimes it meant knocking on the door of a home to tell a mom that her son had been killed in action. It never meant treating any soldier that he or she was of lesser value to America!
