[QUOTE="Jdaniel, post: 2413325, member: 31486"] What he was trying to say is that we as soldiers get paid too much for what we do. I collect $1250.00 every two weeks and I will break it down for you. I get paid $700 per month for off post housing, $260 for food because of the extraordinary hours I work and have no time for the free food in the Dining Facility, and the rest is my base pay. After all the pay is added up, then you have to take away Life insurance, taxes, and what ever else the gov't wants to take from me for working for them. If you take those two allowances away from me then I will be further under the poverty line than your local alkie street bum. What he doesnt realize is that there are contractors in Iraq getting paid $200,000 a year by the Govt for doing the exact same job I do (Helicopter repair) and they dont have to carry a weapon. They are not held responsible for secret material or sensetive equipment. They do not have to put their life on the line to defend and fight for a country that cares less for being a democracy and being free. All they have to do is wake up in the morning and turn a wrench. I have no regrets what so ever for joining the military, I believe its made me a much better person and I would have never met the people I know now if it were not for the military. People like Michael Moore is just looking for something to be recognized for because his stupidity level keeps him from doing anything worth while. I listen not to the ignorant and pay even less attention to the stupid. [/QUOTE]
