I'm a psychology...That is an excellent comment. I'm a psychology lecturer and one of the lectures I deliver is on morality. I have been noticing, with increasing concern, the tendency to denounce whole groups of people as scum (posh white men and white working class men are common targets). This condemnation is not based on something somebody has done, merely based on the group they belong to. Our sense of justice should be outraged by this, because it is evil, it is evil to condemn someone without recognising any part of their uniqueness. It is a faceless, nameless and indiscriminatory condemnation that refuses to see the individual persons in themselves and judge them on their person and particular being and behavior. As such, the condemnation is merely emotional and refutes rationality; it is anti-meaning and anti-human. <br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks. And I will probably rip your comment off and use it, with the appropriate recognition of the source, of course!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10024179152253295183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-80483115012207704872015-10-03T01:15:36.771-07:002015-10-03T01:15:36.771-07:00If you properly read my post, you would see I said...If you properly read my post, you would see I said "THE ARMY EQUIVALENT of minimal skills," thus already addressing your point.purplegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952678339075163056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-50320835686598155312015-06-01T15:24:38.809-07:002015-06-01T15:24:38.809-07:00Obviously every US army soldier has more than '...Obviously every US army soldier has more than 'minimal skills.

Thank you for responding, I must've just not been paying enough attention. <br /><br />As to the issue that some other anon said about $15 being too much for unskilled labor, well, one could argue that there is no such thing as 'unskilled labor'. Multitasking, prioritizing, making good suggestions, wine pairings, etc. are all skills. <br /><br />I wrote and deleted a section here about military pay, but to avoid political entanglement, I'll just say we should pay our military servicemen and servicewomen more money as well.Yarrghnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-74229334120847758372015-03-24T14:45:17.514-07:002015-03-24T14:45:17.514-07:00I can't say it any better than I already did -...I can't say it any better than I already did - And even if someone does have only basic skills - why should that person suffer and be poor?

There is a slight typo when you mention BAS though. On the site you linked to, BAS is indeed 323.87/month for enlisted members, so shouldn't that be 3886.44/year? Or is BAS only provided during deployment, or is there some limit on that? Either way, thanks for thinking through the details!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876150051336556098.post-9705068331781048092015-03-23T10:08:38.095-07:002015-03-23T10:08:38.095-07:00Thank you for posting this PG.
