Military pay isn’t supposed to be on par with the rest of American society (as fukked up as it sounds) but that’s the way it’s structured. Generals rarely step foot outside the wire either but their base pay is over six figures and they don’t kick in not a single door. Guess they’re standing on the shoulders of the “real” soldiersIt sounds like a knock to all branches I guess, but the point was the folks doing the real heavy lifting in combat and being overseas in general in hotter zones raise the status of the every day folks over who will never see anything of the sort in their military career. Treating my buddy who works in an office at the base all day like he’s some war hero just because he’s in the military. My brother in law did 4 tours overseas. Guess who makes more money and gets better perks? If you guessed the one who’s never set foot outside of America and never been in any danger you would be correct

Don’t let titles fool you. There are units that go outside the wire more than others that aren’t combat such as transportation and engineers. Some combat units don’t care what your job is. If they go over to kick in doors, everybody kickin in doors. Plus once you over there, your chances of dying are on par with everyone else’s. Not everyone lives off the base cause if we’re basing it on imminent danger, SFABs deserve more kudos than infantry dudes
