Soldiers on food stamps is because they use their money to take out loans for cars. Another perfect example of government incompetence

Yea definitely dude they all buy dodge chargers. It’s not because base pay for a E4 is terrible.

E4 pay is for the bottom barrel high school grad who is also getting fed and housed.

Really? Because E4s are only entry level if they enlist with a degree. E2 is typically after high school. And nearly half of the E4s I had in my units had families with children. It’s just a reality man.

I don't think you understand the 4 in E4.

How is that government incompetence and not individual incompetence.
