1. Try a google search.
"hazardous pay" + "cut" will give some good results.

2. Veterans for Common Sense
sent out an email about this, which I promptly forwarded to my freeper friend, who was outraged and mailed it on to others (there's hope yet that even the freepers may wake up!)

Anyway, visit
http://www.veteransforcommonsense.org

You'll find a lot of good information on veteran's issues there.

3. That was the front page headline in Stars and Stripes about a week ago

doesn't have a search function, but you can e-mail them for a copy of the article.

The next day was the blackout, so the headlines were about the blackout, with subheadlines reporting the rapid attempted back-tracking on behalf of the GOP inre: the story. They said that although these cuts have been approved and would go forward, that "compensation" for these cuts would be made. That compensation was never defined in the article. It was a classic smoke and mirrors article.

E-mail Stripes and they will get you a copy. I don't recall the date of the blackout, but that and the day before are the pieces you want. Then pass it on and teach others of the GOP idiocy.
