The military has reached the point where we need to end treating them as all the same.
Someone who spends her entire career as a legal assistant, or dental assistant, does not need the same exact treatment as a career infantryman, who even if he lives, he is living the life of an athlete, and is using himself up physically, not to mention his personal life.
I kind of agree with you, but before 9/11 the infantryman wasn’t constantly at war. The problem with an approach like that is that this admin would be in charge of the administration. Combat arms is different but the current clowns wouldn’t know the diff between a CA guy and a plastic army man.
