He supports them, but with certain limitations. President Obama has advocated for (and proposed) military pay raises each year. The problem is that the raises are tied to the economy, so some years, the raises have been very small. Typical raises during his administration have ranged from a low of 1.4% to a high of 3.2%. There are also internet myths that claim the president advocated for a pay freeze for the troops. But fact-checking sites looked into this and found it was false.
