Not sure why the ideal world is one where veterans become executives. Military service is pretty explicitly an escape hatch path from lower-class to middle-class. From a market perspective, making the rewards too high might actually destroy this essentially necessary social purpose via competition.

Also, for very large corporations, a low-to-mid level executive position isn't all that lofty.
