Facebook Rant... So tired of the RW Bullshit Memes

3. Excellent response, but...

anyone making that argument is ignorant beyond measure, so no rational arguments will have any effect, although they may have an effect on casual readers happening across that conversation.

I would prefer to take his silly argument further, and propose that the shame is in paying our soldiers so little. The median US income is between $55-65,000, depending upon whom you ask, so why don't we raise our soldiers pay to that level?

E-3's and above should be making at least the median wage. And, of course, there is no reason to raise taxes to pay for this.
