Why don't Putz and Michelle Malkin care about the troops?

So the White House thinks a 3.5% raise for our troops is too damn much.

Troops don’t need bigger pay raises, White House budget officials said Wednesday in a statement of administration policy laying out objections to the House version of the 2008 defense authorization bill.

The Bush administration had asked for a 3 percent military raise for Jan. 1, 2008, enough to match last year’s average pay increase in the private sector. The House Armed Services Committee recommends a 3.5 percent pay increase for 2008, and increases in 2009 through 2012 that also are 0.5 percentage point greater than private-sector pay raises.

And not a peep from the two famed Troop Supporters.

Feel free to ask Putz what he thinks of the White House's failure to support our troops.
