The military retirement pay for a 20-year E-7 is approximately $1500 a month. And, in your early forties, with twenty or more years of "serviceable" worker years remaining, that nice little $1500 can go toward some beneficial uses.
What I'm suggesting is that the members of our military are fairly compensated. You know how I can tell this? It's an all volunteer force and at the moment there not hurtin' for new bodies to come in the door!

I agree, military are definitely compensated... I make the equivalent of someone making $80,000 a year when non-taxable income is included.

And the Republicans aren't doing a damn thing about any of this. Being Big Stupid Government professional politicians, they're too lazy and greedy to even
talk about doing something about it.
And they expect me to vote for them?
