[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 850961, member: 12952"] Obama’s negation of ‘hostilities’ in Libya draws criticism By David A. Fahrenthold, Published: June 20 The White House has officially declared that what’s happening in Libya is not “hostilities.” But at the Pentagon, officials have decided it’s unsafe enough there to give troops extra pay for serving in “imminent danger.” The Defense Department [URL='http://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:XaHnvVoF_BUJ:militarypay.defense.gov/OSD%20Military%20Compensation%20Website_files/libyaandtunisiaIDP.docx+Libya+and+']decided[/URL] in April to pay an extra $225 a month in “imminent danger pay” to service members who fly planes over Libya or serve on ships within 110 nautical miles of its shores. That means the Pentagon has decided that troops in those places are “subject to the threat of physical harm or imminent danger because of civil insurrection, civil war, terrorism or wartime conditions.” [/QUOTE]
