He advocates using the old military system in a civilian setting. I used to question why the military gave married men with wives and children extra pay and allowances. Pay should be based on ability and productivity, I don’t see how having dependents makes someone more valuable in the military or in a civilian job. Krauthammer has lost the last remaining shred of any confidence I ever placed in him.

Army Vet. That annoyed me, too! And don’t get me started on the smoke breaks! Yeesh! I was the only one that didn’t smoke, so I held down the fort for 20 out of every 60 minutes of the day, while everyone else smoked and joked.

Of course, they’re all dead now. *SMIRK*
