You can call them subsidies, but I consider them to be compensation for many years of low pay and the physical abuse your body suffers in the military. Have you not seen the Wounded Warrior commercials on television and the horrible injuries they incurred? The "subsidies" veterans get are part of the cost for a their service to the country. Without these benefits do you really think anyone would go into the military for the pittance they pay?
In the military you are on call 24/7 and my normal work hours were 10 to 14 hours a day. In one unit, due to poor leadership at the unit commander's level, we worked 77 days straight, 10 to 14 hours a day. Most veterans EARNED everything they get.
