The White House is ducking questions about its plan to cut the pay of U.S. troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Last month, the Pentagon proposed cutting the $75 a month that soldiers receive in "imminent danger pay" along with the $150 a month that they receive in "family separation allowances." According to the Defense Department, their budget can't sustain the higher payments amid a host of other priorities. "It's all part of the lie of the Bush administration, that they say they support our troops," said Susan Schuman, whose son Justin is with a National Guard unit stationed in Iraq.
