[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's funny.  The attitude that military members are well compensated and have life easy turns people off too. You are a real gem...[/quote]

Doesn't the research show that most military members are paid much more overall compensation than they would make in the private sector, especially the lower-ranking people? People join out of their own economic interest.[/quote]

I think you have that wrong -- in a way.  The military recruits unskilled people and trains them.  By the time they are skilled in what ever, they are underpaid.  But, they will take people with just an HS degree (or GED).   It is a great way to get out of a lower class upbringing (assuming the child stays clean).  But, there are reasons why you don't see middle and upper middle class kids enlisting -- they will join through ROTC/Academies.

The other thing about the military is once you are in, you are in.  They can keep you for as long as they want, even after the enlistment period is over.  Oh, and they send you to war.  [b]People should be paid better for being shot at[/b].[/quote]

Well, I agree with this bold face statement completely.

I'm the PP who is concerned to read that government employees are making $225K and feel they are taking a CUT. Then by all means don't do the hardworking taxpayers of America any services and please run your overpaid ass back to private industry. Feds are getting something--better life work balance, pensions, benefits--and this is ALL taxpayer money. Please save me the sanctimony about how underpaid you lazy bums are.[/quote]
