Huh? I'm saying that military pay is not very high, but a lot of the
enlisted have few viable options. Do you dispute this? If so, feel free to
show the stats that can find better jobs, but would rather not.


You've got this backwards, Jon. Your the one asserting that those serving
their country have no viable options. That puts the burden of proof on
you.

As I see it, your claim says more about your attitude than it says of the
abilities of the service men and women.



No I don't. Joe asserted that "Most enlisted people, and officers can find
better paying jobs than the military."

I asked him to show us those stats.

I'm asserting that most enlisted (not officers) have a limited ability to
find viable options, and in addition, the pay isn't good.

As I see it, you're attitude is what got us into a war of choice.
