True. However, there are about 5,697 things on my list that are more of a waste my tax dollars; more than BAH for deployed single guys. That is something I actually don't mind paying for. $4 billion for global warming/carbon emmissions research chaps my ass a little more...


And please, spare me the "holy sainted soldier" b.s.. Frankly, soldier pay is more than ample, now. Especially since a significant amount of it is direct benefit, which makes their net pay seem smaller.
Agreed. I think the pay is awesome. I am a man with mediocre talent and very average intelligence; I don't think I could make this much money/great benefits anwhere else. I make a pretty good living in the military, and I'm thankful for all that the Army provides for me and my family.
