CLINTON vs. TRUMP: PART ONE

The candidates answer MOAA’s questions

Democratic and Republican presidential candidates provide their views on issues of interest to the military and veterans’ community.

 
 

TELL CONGRESS TO REJECT MILITARY PAY AND BENEFITS CUTS

You have a lot to lose as House and Senate leaders reconcile the two versions of the defense bill.

What’s at stake:

  • dramatic retiree health care fee increases;
  • huge erosions to housing allowances (up to $10,000-$20,000 or more per year);
  • a fourth consecutive military pay raise cutback; and
  • more cuts to already-overstressed forces.

Send your elected officials a MOAA-suggested message today.
