“Structure benefit programs to be good enough to attract good talent.”
Guess we’re not even agreeing on what the question is. I’m not advocating a “free ride” for anybody. I pointed out the difference. You’re probably either so self-serving or brainwashed that you believe the CEO making hundreds of millions of dollars a year earned it because that’s how much he is “worth” to the company but the 22 year old risking his life in combat isn’t worth more to our country than what their current compensation is. I have no problem with the CEO that makes billions. I just don’t want to encourage a society where nobody wants to pursue a career serving something bigger than themselves or bigger than financial riches because doing so will result in a life of poverty.

And your so self serving you are using that kids blood to further your own agenda.

Well as soon as you can go from high school to being CEO you might have a problem. Until then kids have to start somewhere. Starting at the bottom is where most CEOs began. Many CEOs have served.
