I'd like to see a breakdown of everything that soldiers are given while stationed on a base over seas. I'd be interested to know what that + salary is and how it relates to the average income in the private sector in the States....I'm sure it's at least equal and I'd bet that service men and women are ahead of the curve.
What private sector job would you compare it to? There is not a private sector job that you can't quit to begin with...most folks in the military can't just say "frick it, I quit" and walk away from their job without any notice....that is illegal for most military people.
Also very few private sector jobs where you are on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week until your employer hands you a piece of paper saying you aren't on call 24-7.
Finally very few private sector jobs where your employer expects you to sacrifice your life to get your job done. Military folks aren't supposed to die on the job but when they do it is understood that it is part of the job.
Yes, military people have some serious perks....but none that the military doesn't measure very well against rentention and recruitment...they aren't just slinging shite at soldiers to get them in and keep them in....

So the last I checked the last time a draft was instituted was a long time ago. These people know what they are getting into...they also know what they can do in the private sector.
