I think they should close every golf course on every military base and use the
money for greater family allowances for enlisted men.

Enlisted men (or women) shouldn't be allowed to have a family :-)

Shack!

At least that's true for first term enlisted. Mid and senior NCO's are
certainly reasonably compensated today. It's not a career to get rich,
but most folks don't enter the military for that reason.

There was a time when you couldn't be married without commander
approval below the rank of E-4. That makes sense. Why would you need
food stamps if you're provided clothing, live in the barracks/dorm,
and have a meal card??

Careful now, you're going to **** off the tax and spend special rights lobby...
