Trump talks about increasing money for the military.

Now, I realize that will be for weapons, sending our troops to fight, training, and more than likely occupying but will this include better pay, better health care, better mental care, benefits for fallen soldiers families, and continue or improve college tuition?

1. I would be OK with that if

the enlisted get a 20% pay raise, the brass up to captain 5%, major to colonel 2.5% and generals .5%.

2. His budget plan calls for an increase of approx 60billion to the dod budget

That increase will come from drastic cuts to domestic programs. I seriously doubt, given past experience with budget increases to DoD, that the average service member will benefit from this in any way. I would bet this is just another payday for campaign contributors
