Is the military paying troops too much? Yes and no, study finds

Story got posted already here on RallyPoint. Issue is complicated due to complexity of military and positions within (officer vs. enlisted, MOS/Rating/AFSC, duty station location, etc.)

I find some of the language in this article, study etc to be BS. I would first ask Jose many had served in the military, been deployed and taken care of Family while doing so. The military should compensate and do so at a rate of the too percentile, as the country should for many of private sector positions. The other failure is not including specialty pay, housing and the like in total pay. Retirement is greatly decreased at a time when the benefit of reward for service should be evident. The Bottom line is, there are very few who faces what Soldiers face.
