U.S. House lawmakers are preparing to handle an $886 billion defense spending bill, fondly named the NDAA, that recently passed the Senate. The NDAA requires annual reauthorization by Congress and encompasses pivotal aspects affecting the nation's military readiness and the lives of those in military service.
The new bill comes bearing gifts as it includes the most significant pay raise for service members in over two decades. Once the House gives the nod to this bill, lawmakers are expected to break for the holidays.
