While YOU may feel you have been overpaid, most grunts, feel they don't get paid enough. Let's compare a civi job with a grunt. The guys from Blackwater that provide security in Iraq. They get paid, on average, close to 10 Grand/month ( i wish I had a source for this, other than someone that served over there). So the civillian counterpart gets pais a whole hell of a lot more than soldiers over there.
