This is truly disgraceful, military families having to depend on food pantries to feed their families. These people are standing ready to defend our freedoms and our lives and they cannot afford to support themselves and their loved ones is a sin.

The pay is horrible for enlisted.,,, don’t start a family, seriously you can’t afford it

Sounds like even our military service members need their pay raised to a living wage. Many jobs in the military are also not just 40 hours a week. They get no overtime pay when they are pulling 60 or more hour weeks. Our men and women in uniform deserve better than this.

This issue affects military and non-military families equally but I'm not sure why you would assume the military doesn't pay a "living wage". A low ranking E-4, married with one child, in Virginia Beach (the example they used) makes $30K/year in base pay, $21K/year in housing allowance and $4600 in BAS (food allowance) for a grand total of $55,600 annually. That's not bad money for a junior enlisted person who will continue to get raises as they gain rank and time in service. I'm not sure where you live but in my area a 22-23 year old making $55K/year is doing pretty well.

This is not new. In the 80's as an air force family, air force members were given free meat rations. 5lbs of free beef a month....because we were so underpaid. Also, the commissary serving overseas leaves A LOT to be desired both in prices, and quality. Todays military is a bit better than it was years ago, but the problems still exist.

When married to an enlisted soldier and had a baby we qualified for WIC, thank goodness but sad too.

now lets do more for my brothers n sisters out living on the streets

That’s a joke. Our military should not have to beg for food tf

I'm tired of our politicians living comfortably and our military always struggling.

Where have you all been? This has been going on over 40 years. Time stamp early 70s my wife and I survived near a full week on a bag of popping corn, after paying our rent as there was always insufficient base housing. Went on like this my last 2yrs so yes I got out. It's no better now I had to retire as businesses routinely discriminate against the elderly and disabled. Tried as last effort to use the GI bill to start a home business. Guess what the v.a.rep in Bridgeport CT told me. Read it carefully " GUESS YOU SERVED AT THE WRONG TIME "! Go wave your flags this weekend and don't forget to do so again in Nov. For vets.day. America land of the free and home of the f#!&%d remember the veterans at least, you do so little else for them. As it turns out you can use the GI bill to do much with if you SERVED after 9/11. Those from before can only buy a home. Could not get work in my field when I got out because as I was told by an H.R. rep.with what was then known as Ma Bell after 1yr trying," We have to hire so many people in minority status even with no experience. This we have to do in order to get our rate increases to pass thru the govt." I thought then as now are not veterans a minority also, but unlike civilian minorities they sometimes have an arm or leg blown off or more. Let this news story wake you all up. It is how things are and have been for YOUR military for a damn long time. Too late for those like me from another era. All veterans have pride in their service, many have lost their dignity thru no choice of their own other than volunteering. Fix what is obviously broken or you America may no longer have the finest military on God's green new deal earth.

They should have a program for our military. They fight for our country; we could at least give them food back.

The positions are entry-level. They are not designed to take care of a family. They receive free medical and off-base housing.

new soldiers who first enlist have low pay with low rank which is okay if you are single and no dependants and that is the majority of new soldiers. The problem becomes when newly enlisted low ranking soldier's have families to support. They can struggle financially until they gain rank and time in service.

Military families should not be suffering they are the ones who fight to really keep us safe

Please help our veterans 💙❤️❤️💙🙏🙏🙏

Here's a thought: don't have a family if you're making $20,000 a year

Can this be criminal from the base commanders and the Pentagon! Our military service members should NOT have to worry about food shortages!

in the 1970s the usn told the recruits straight away they do not want you to get married until you are e6 or above. I was assigned to the long beach where just about everyone was single since women were not allowed to serve aboard warships.

I don't understand. They have access to both Commissary and PX stores. Have you seen the prices? They are a fraction of off post retail. It doesn't make sense.

They should feed them and their families well. That's the least they could do for them. They shouldn't be worried about their basic needs being met. The people value the military members even if the gov does not.

I mean, doesn't help businesses throw away over 100 TONS (81.4 BILLION lbs to be exact) of food each year. So maybe we need to start re-evaluating what is done with food and in turn force companies to reduce prices, because I'm sorry, but the fact America alone throws out over 100 tons of food a year is sickening, especially with how many people go hungry each year.

TG for non-profits, paying 20-21k a year is so shockingly low.

I didn't know that military family struggled like this. I thought once you left the military, ALL your needs were met. That providing for you was gratitude for your service.

Tax the billionaires ( secretly so they don’t leave )

"Our troops, our troops..." "Goldstar families..." Struggling military families all throughout. Conservatives at their finest.

Honestly some people were raised up to thank folks for their service, as good manners and respect. It is just upbringing. Not meant to offend.

Nothing changes. In the late 50s my father was a sergeant with four kids. Back then military was paid once a month. After the third week he would back his car up to the mess hall and they would load him up with groceries. We also became very familiar with the contents of k-rations

They make 20-24 thousand a year, when they first start out. ****PLUS*** they get a housing allowance if married, more $ with children. My step son receives his pay PLUS an extra $2550 housing/food allowance a month. (Varied with state and cost of living) If you can’t pay your bills with all of that, you need a budget and you have a spending problem. Before he was married he lived on base and they fed him. Maybe more people, (not just military)need a course on budgeting. My stepson doesn’t live paycheck to paycheck. We taught him well.

So sad and soooo unbelievable

How come that is happening

Shame

Where are the 700 Billion going?

Our troops should be taken care of more. This is incredibly sad.

It's outrageous what some states have done with SNAP benefits. If a state is counting BAQ and VHA as income that is totally inappropriate.

Shame America. Food, medicine, and life. PL republicans understand this

This is ridiculous. If anyone should be taken care of, it's our soldiers and their families. Give them food cards. It's simple.

It is ashamed that military families don't have enough foods to eat. They have to go to food-bank to get foods for their families.

Not OK.. We should be ashamed as a country. I had no idea this was going on.

This is ridiculous, I'm a commoner a civilian and they should have priority b4 me..

This is the cornerstone of the Constitution they're sworn to support and defend, and it's a manifesto the nation is failing to live up to: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

REPEAT DO NOT HAVE KIDS YOU CANNOT AFFORD. They expect taxpayers to pay for their kids they should not have had on a poor income.

This is sooo wrong, I don't want to hear any words at all just immediately fix this not make a long press conference explaining why or whatever simply fix it ASAP 😢
