Johnson Hagood protests a recent letter to the editor of The Sun that argued against a proposed increase in military pay. Hagood argues that the increase will not significantly increase inequality in pay between the branches, and is certainly better than no increase. Indeed, Hagood believes that recruitment for his own artillery branch will collapse entirely without an increase in compensation.
