Reply to complaint on pay schedules, bonuses etc

I didn't make the rules or pay/bonus schedule.  I do know that when the draft was ended, American Men and women were in a state of shock after watching 58,000 American Grunts die for nothing.
The Dept of defense had to increase pay and decrease the requirements to be a Grunt.
Now we have an all Mercenary Military.  What is different is the establishment of Green Zones across the Globe.  This enables the Officer corps to avoid direct contact with the enemy while they eat Kobe' beef and drink the best bourbon.
Only fools put their lives on the front line ... not Officers!
It's called turning RED into Green ... Grunts get the Red, Officers and their fat wives and kids get the GREEN.
Any terrorist actions taking place in the EU or USA is directly caused by the Destruction and rubbleization of whole countries by the USA high command.  We brag about getting in our enemies shorts, like the raid on Bin Laden

.Two Americas.  One selfish, self-centered, narcisstic, like our President.  the other believes in sharing, in community, and struggling together to achieve a goal like winning WWII.. The non-sharers believe they are the natural born leaders of sharers.  But why follow?
