Btw my comments were not about spending more to buy more products for wars and things like that. I am all for cutting funding for military to be in other countries, fine with cutting to buy another thing we don't need, etc. I just don't think it's fair to cut benefits for military and veterans while at the same time the same isn't happening for welfare, etc.
Are those civilians getting room and board, full college tuition, and full med+dental coverage from their employers?
You need to look at total compensation. Salaries are not the full picture.
LMAO...you'd think he would've known that.
Military members are compensated quite handsomely when their full package is taken into accept.
Geez..do these people wanna make them frickin MILLIONAIRES or something?
What other job does an an 18 year old walk into without a college education and leaves with a pension 20 years later..with his health benefits guaranteed for life?
I get that folks love our military, but they're getting carried away with this poormouth nonsense. GI's make a damn good living relatively speaking.

and that's based on the military pay scale that just took effect on 1 Jan 2014
You forgot about healthcare, housing, food, uniforms, and tax advantages. Military compensation has been found by the military to be in the 90th %itle of civilian compensation for similar jobs and work experience.

What's a higher % than military?
Welfare.
Send them off to protect your ass

And yet a married E4 qualifies for food stamps.
I guess that's normal where you come from.
Stay in your lane, you're outdated in this subject.

Unless they have a zillion kids, there's NO REASON for a married E4 to need food stamps.
Their base pay, separate rats, BAH, and COLA is more than my son makes as a first year teacher with a grad degree.
That doesn't even take their medical, dental, and automatic half million dollar life insurance policy.

If the bolded is true. Have your son join the service, so he can get some too.
