Can (will) somebody tell me how old the minimum wage is? Is the military exempt? Military may not need to be exempted nowadays but when I enlisted, starting pay was $69 per month

When I enlisted in June 65 basic E-1 pay (under 4 months service) was $78.00/month. Subtracting the $2.83 FICA tax, and the $10.90 Federal income tax I netted a whopping $64.27.

I actually had more disposable income then, than I do now.
