Yes, just like I expect them to pay taxes
Setting aside the voting thing, from a real standpoint, paying taxes on military (or federal civilian, for that matter) wages is the height of government insanity/inefficiency. We do it (as an accounting fiction ONLY) so the masses don't lynch the civilian employees (they wouldn't the military, because G-d bless us, we still love our men and women in uniform, thankfully that part of the country is still intact).
That's like charging your full time maintenance man rent. You pay him his wages and he turns around and hands you part of it to cover rent. Great - if you both feel better, but he's not really paying you rent.
Same for military/federal civilian workers paying taxes on that income. Whatever floats your boat, but if it wasn't so inefficient and inane, it would be humorous.

Fair point but there is way more than types of taxes out there that you pay more money to than just income tax.
