There are some hard workers in government - you see many around DC. But I don't disagree that there are some lazy people in government - I have heard much worse about the EPA than you have stated for example.
The military is some of the hardest working but criminally underpaid.
The whole contracting system is broken - the amount of money government leaks there is criminal.

When you factor in housing benefits, pension, health care, education, etc, the military is a fantastic career option, which is why so many people join it. For a non-college graduate, it is absolutely the best career path you can take in the US. When you get out, you have access to federally subsidized loans that nobody else gets, as well as the ability to have Tricare (ultra cheap health insurance) for the rest of your life. When you consider that less than 10% of active duty military will ever see combat, this is a bargain.
