I'm a serving soldier in the british army and my g/f is a soldier serving with uncle sam's motley crew and what she gets makes my wages and benefits look like I'm a beggar.

The US approach to the military is quite different to ours. This is an old article but shows how the military is a sacred sector in the US as far as politicians are concerned.
