The soldiers at Fort Carson don't recieve combat pay unless they are in a combat zone. The extension on combat pay for those in Iraq and other combat areas ends this December. Since every soldier I talked to expects to be sent on another tour over there, they were not pleased about the prospect of going back with their combat pay cut. I should have made THAT clear. And, yeah, soldiers don't go into it for the money, but I think congress should raise their pay enough so that some families aren't forced to live on food stamps, at the very least.
