Michelle Obama is speaking out on the struggle many military families face, saying, "It's not right."

In a brand new interview with GMA's Robin Roberts, the first lady sounds off on what she feels is a deeply rooted problem facing military families.

"It hurts. It hurts," the first lady said in regard to military families having to live off food stamps. "These are people who are willing to send their loved ones off to, perhaps, give their lives -- the ultimate sacrifice. But yet, they're living back at home on food stamps. It's not right, and it's not where we should be as a nation."

"I think that's one of my jobs, is to try and shed some light on some of these issues," she said, "to not just be in that conversation with military spouses and hear those stories, but to take that information back to the administration to share it with the nation, so that we can think again about how we can better support these families."
