2. military pay
I don't think it's true about SEAL pay averaging just $45K. When you factor in non-taxable housing/subsistence allowances, medical/dental benefits, and extra pay, like danger pay, it's prob closer to $60K. And that's for enlisted; officers get paid much more.

But true, they get paid way too little for their work.

3. Disposable heroes.
The soldiers that protect our lives, the workers that produce our wealth.

4. Civilization has to be paid for;
Justice has to be paid for. The corporatocracy is notoriously short-sighted and fixated on their own bottom line.
