That's right. Some military families use food stamps.

A Senate committee proposes to more than double the military’s Family Supplemental Subsistence Allowance in a move intended to keep troops from having to use food stamps.

The increase would apply to no more than 328 families by the Pentagon’s estimate, but it would deflect the larger public-relations problem created by the idea that military wages are low enough to drive some families to seek government assistance....

The FSSA, first paid in late 2001, was created at a time when about 14,000 military families were believed to be receiving food stamps, mostly large midgrade or junior enlisted families....

One military spouse told Obama that her family was on food stamps while her husband was deployed in Iraq. “It’s not right,” Obama said in an ABC News interview after the visit.

Indeed. Why does Boor(tz) hate America so much? :shrug:
