Soldiers Deposits Draw Interest and Desertion Link
The Army pays 4 percent interest on soldiers savings kept with paymasters to discourage desertion. Funds, totaling over 2.5 million dollars, are used to cover current Army expenses and are not deposited into the U.S. treasury. Deposits can be made at San Francisco Manila or other posts and are returned to the soldier at discharge. The policy faces scrutiny as Congress debates the army bill and tariff issues influence the broader political scene.
