Maybe the job the minimum wage slaves of the world do is a little more complicated and critical than we're giving them credit for. Even the "grunt" risks his life. How many hours of programming or pipefitting is that worth, and just how simple do you think it is to assault a pillbox or fortified position? Deciding that one's job is more difficult or complex than another's may be a useful way to generate pride in what one does, that doesn't mean that the picture we've painted for ourselves is an accurate one. Since we're on the subject of grunts, you know how much a medic E-5 makes in comparison to the salary of an infantry E-5? Exactly the same. Seems to work for the military.

Me? I hear you loud and clear.
