i'm in the Army; Yup you are right they are sending almost all of the money going into the gov. on this war in Iraq and Afghanistan. But that Still doesn't fix the point that soldiers don't get paid well.
I've been in for 7 years now. I've reached the rank of Sergeant (E5). I am a supervisor of anywhere between 1 to 8 guys. with my job, and my grade level a guy in the civilian sector makes about 60,000 to 80,000 K a year where I only make about 28,000K

pay is not all that great, but awesome job security
