Default Is serving in the military classified as a "job"

Good point, Vic.

But the original questioning was: "is it a "Job"? or a "Boondoggle?"

I said it was a "job," but another distinguished poster said it was a
"boondoggle"

I'm trying to gather opinions on which would be correct.

There's probably as many featherbedders in the military as in the
civilian world.
The difference is the obligation to die when the **** hits the fan.
Apples and oranges.
