About This Quote

If we adopted Jack, I quip, "we'd have to give him combat pay for an allowance." This is a common saying in many military units in which the younger generation is frustrated with the attitudes of their seniors. The senior members of the unit are not expected to fight or do much in the way of real work. Instead, they are expected to lead and to make decisions. For example, in the U.S.

Army, officers can request combat pay for themselves when they are actually deployed in battle zones. This is one example of “combat pay” that is assumed by younger military personnel who are still in training or who have just graduated from college.
