This chart is so very right.
I have NEVER understood the concept of the military soldiers who do the dirty work, with the real chance of being killed in action, being paid less than the people sending them into the death zones. I believe that once a soldier is sent into war his pay grade should be increased X 5! That extra money should be sent, every month, to the person the soldier decides he wants to be the recipient of the check. There should be no questions asked!
Once a politician, who is sitting on his fat ass behind a desk in Washington, decides to sign on to the madness of sending young soldiers to their possible deaths in war zones around the world… he should do so knowing that he also signed on to give that soldier his hazard pay.
My father spent almost 30 years in the army! I watched what the Korean War and the Vietnam War did to him. He is almost 80 years old and he still has nightmares about his experiences all these decades later. He has gotten very little support from the Army about his post traumatic experiences. It’s really too late now to help him… he is too hardened and too rough and too tough to even really talk about the things he experienced back then.
Pay the soldiers for the POTENTIAL life loss, governmental cowards. You are not risking your lives as you are sitting at your fancy desks by day talking your trash and pushing your papers… and frequenting fancy restaurants and eating your fancy food at night while you make your cowardly deals.
This chart is so right. Maybe someone in power in the upper levels of the government will see this chart and out of pure embarrassment do something about this issue. Maybe!
