Anyone can go into debt...and while soldiers make a decent wage at the rank of E-4 and above, it is hardly "all that money."

"All that money"?

Are you even trying to be remotely serious?

Here's a link to the 2007 military pay scale: Military Pay

An E-6 (First Class Petty Officer or a Staff Sargeant), with 10 years in, makes less than $35,000.00 a year. By the time a servicemember reaches this point in their career, there's a good chance they're married, have kids, maybe a mortgage and a car payment. $35K a year has to go a long way.

Now, there are other allowances that servicemembers collect; combat pay, proficiency pay, sea pay, etc, but those are things which come and go, and cannot be counted on as a permenant portion of their pay.

Man, you really either need to think about what you intend to post, or you need to educate yourself on the topic you're posting about. Without doing either of those, I suspect we'll continue to get only proof of blatant ignorance from you...
