""""seems like a dog whistle to prime the soldiers
to listen and follow his rhetoric""""

Hmmmm, thats possible too. I've got mixed feelings on these checks though. On the one hand the Democrats had never done anything like this for the U.S military. But on the other hand he might need the soldiers for a special mission in the immediate future for example to shoot at the non-white immigrants in every city and every town. Ha-ha-ha!!

Ok, and what about some bonus checks to the elderly and disabled?? How about the normal working Joe's?? And most important thats nothing compared to what's been given to foreign countries. Ask Qatar, ask Abdul.
