IIUC it's the same as anyone else being in the military for 20 years. That's not really enough IMHO for the level of training they have.

- kthxbye123 6y agoPart of the allure of the job is that it's supposed to be about abstract values like honor, duty, loyalty, patriotism etc. and not about compensation. It can't be otherwise, because then you have to accept that the job is basically just about killing people in exchange for money.
- meheleventyone 6y agoIt can be about all that stuff and you can pay people well. Nothing about the latter implies you have to suddenly change your values.
