bet a slew of civillians would love to live in a tent or ditch in Afghanistan and dine on mri’s. What a life and to think it is the government paying for this “freebie” Do civillians risk their lives? give the jobs to military..civillians perks are outrageous.
And regarding civilian perks, they're called salary. The military traditionally pays you compensation and quarters ~ SEPARATELY. In Russia they broke with tradition by providing quarters and no compensation until you'd been in the army for a couple of years.
Typically people do their military duty when they're younger. Then they get a shot at the big bucks as civilians later on.
Usually these things don't happen simultaneously.
