The best sort of comparison of pay raises between the military and civilians is: http://www.defenseone.com/management/2014/09/heres-chart-showing-30-years-military-pay-raises/94124/ http://www.defenseone.com/management/2014/09/heres-chart-sho... It doesn't seem like either civilians or the military are getting much of a pay raise, especially when one considers the inexorable inflationary rise of prices.

ah but you must consider that most military based in the US receive "BAH" which can easily double their total pay, tax free. For example, an E-5 with a high school diploma in Maryland can get $2k per month tax-free: http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/bahCalc.cfm http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/site/bahCalc.cfm

But to your point, I readily grant that the government mismanages civilians as much as military personnel.
