Rich Vs. Poor

[Munch]

Soldiers get life-long benefits in the United States. This includes excellent health care, retirement pay when they leave, veteran status (which provides discounts at many, many stores) and the ability to buy things at extremely low prices at the stores on military bases.

Edit:

Also, soldiers are paid lower because of the fact they get fed, clothed and given a bed to sleep in while they are on active duty, all for free.

Fair enough, I don't know about the British soldiers but it's probably similar.

But soldiers also work for poor people, and besides the benefits, they don't get rich (that applies to Mike's special exception rule)
