The bunker is finally getting back to some sort of blogging routine, well, we’re trying to anyway - during a swing through the regular reads we came across some of that CPoC support the troops, actions not words, at Thems Fighten Words.

The following is an exerpt from a letter written by a member of our armed forces in Africa.

“Well, guys. I just want to add another injustice to how the CF are being treated. As you know, I am at Addis Ababa with TFAA, supporting the African Union in Sudan. This month, someone in Ottawa has decided that our mission should have the Risk Level down graded from Level 2 to Level 1 and have our danger pay reduced. In addition, with Risk level reduced, the tax exemption was gone. This is retroactive to June 2006. Well, the pay system took all the taxes owed in one shot and for my Dec pay, I owed the Feds $11000.00.

Only the feds would be allowed to get away with a retroactive pay decrease - good job Mr Harper, is that how you’re going to live up to your “boost military spending” promise?
