Yes I think so.  They risk their life for us.  I'm sorry to say but the pay for what they do.  Sucks.  They work a lot of hours and get paid I think it was under a dollar an hour.  So how would you like to go to a job.  Get paid a dollar an hour.  Look at them in iraq.  They are their for 24 hours 7 days a week.  Away from their family.  Risking their lives.  Getting paid less then a dollar an hour.

YES, My husband is in the military, and yes we do get good benefits, but we struggle to make it. We live paycheck to paycheck and that sucks.

I do not mind paying taxes it is the back bone of our nation. what I do not like is those who cheat or find ways not to pay plus those who get a free ride on our taxes as welfare,food stamps and other free gives. I think everyone should be made to work to receive these free rides. I know some are not able to work but even a person in a wheelchair could do something.

Yes, they definitely get paid too much.  There are other professions that deserve more, while sports deserve less.  The military definitely warrants better pay, because they fight for our freedom to enjoy those spectator sports.  Teachers deserve more because without them, society would lack the knowledge necessary to thrive.  Professional athletes are able to demand those high salaries because people allow them to.  If they weren't supported, they wouldn't make the money.

the reason it is pay, is not just for the money, it is also to make sure the person is over 18.  so that is why all if not most are pay sites.

You're so right about other people being paid to take care of your kids, but not you.\n\nWhat's happened is that the work that was traditionally done by women has continued to be undervalued.  That doesn't mean that feminism has failed or is to be blamed, it just means that more progress needs to be made.  Men and women both need to have choices about how to spend their time and how to care for their families, and those choices need to be recognized as having equal worth.  \n\nMany European countries offer a stipend to families just for having children--it's not an income dependent welfare program, it's just some help out.  I believe that caregivers should also be given credit in the Social Security system, because many women have nothing for retirement if they have spent any time caring for children or other family members.  Maternity and family leave should be paid and extend beyond six weeks.  \n\nBut somebody would have to pay for all these programs.  So don't blame feminists, blame the folks who won't pay taxes, who don't believe in government programs, or who won't pay decent prices for goods so that employers can pay a living wage to their employees.

What he can do is find the military pay chart online.  His pay will all depend upon his rank and time in service, has nothing to do with the job he does.  Now the job he gets might have an enlistment bonus attached to it, which would help a lot being newlywed.  He also has to understand that he will get paid more for being married, he will also get allowances for food and housing, all along with his normal pay.  Also every year there is a cost of living adjustment, meaning there is a slight pay raise, and with every year he spends in he gets paid more.  So even if the promotion stats are low for the job, he will still see an increase in pay.  If he is going in as an E-1 (lowest pay level) even right now he would be making $1100 a month before taxes and before the additions for marraige, housing, and food.  They will have it tough for a while, no doubt about that, but they will make it.

I am a veteran myself (8 years US Army) and like your idea. Perhaps it could be a federal law that any Honorably Discharged veteran gets Veterans Day off......with pay!!!!!

Depends on the line of work... some women make more than men depending on experience and the position they are working.  If you are talking exact same job, exact same work, exact same time at job... yes.\n\nEmployment at many places depends on qualifications, ability, and attitude... these places generally pay those who do a better job more than those who don't (regardless of gender)\n\nUnions, however, are SUPPOSED to be there to ensure that all UNION MEMBERS are treated and paid the same... regardless of qualifications... if you work this position you are paid this ampount...PERIOD.

The rank is not ceremonial but is only given in times of war.  There is no pay raise for the rank O-10 is the highest you can get paid and thats not too bad $14158.30 per month oh yeah and because Generals cut their own orders it will probably be tax free.  Thats 170,000 per year not bad huh

This is the 21st century.  Yes, of course women are taxed.  We hold jobs just like the men do.  Taxes dont go by gender but buy amount made in the year.

Yes it is perfectly ok.  People who don't ask and people who don't demand to be paid what they are worth are always the ones at the bottom of the pay scale.  You know the people, they are the ones that are shocked when they found out what everyone else is making.

Yes, they should either be attending college or a trade school, or showing up at some type of job to be able to collect their welfare. It would eliminate welfare fraud, because one person couldn't show up at 2 or more jobs at the same time. Right now there are so many of them collecting 2 or more welfare checks, because there is no good way to control the problem. Having to show up for a class or a job would put an end to this type of fraud. It would also discourage them from remaining on welfare for very long. Right now we make it so easy for them to sit on their butts all day and collect money for doing nothing but being a drain on this country and all of the taxpayers. If they had to actually work for the small amount they receive in welfare, they would quickly decide to try and get a better paying job. I think there should be a stricter time limit for welfare recipients and also stricter rules regarding how many children they can collect for on welfare. I also think that the amount of money they receive should be reduced if there is a male living in the household. My husband delivers mail (he is 53 years old and has worked as a mail carrier for over 35 years) and he sees young, healthy males sitting on their lazy butts, giving him a hard time because they wanted the welfare check delivered earlier that their girlfriend receives. We are helping to support these lazy jerks and I think we need to put a stop to it right away. If the female that is receiving welfare wants a male to live with her, than he needs to have a job and help support her and her children. \n\nS.S.
