Actually, I've heard a number of people support this, even if it meant a cut in overall military pay. The government is paying military salaries, which are very specific and uniform pay grades. You can factor in almost exactly how much you pay them to pay you back, and cut accordingly. Dropping over a million people off the tax rolls would cut out a good chunk of the IRS middleman, and save the resources needed to help deployed servicepersonnel do their taxes. We'd save money all over, and it not really cost a dime.

You got to be careful here. There are a number of non military gov't employees based in IRAQ and other countries. The next thing you know is that all gov't employees will want the same deal. Next you'll have State and locals wanting it too.
