I think it's criminal how little people in the military are paid. These are people out risking their lives, taken away from their families for long periods of time. I think they should be paid dramatically more than they're paid.

The education system should teach us about money it's an incredibly big subject. I run into people all the time that don't have the first clue of what they should do about money.
