all those well-paid soldiers

[Jeffrey Fisher]

listening to a report on npr, right now. apparently the army actually 
acknowledges that poverty is a real problem for some of their soldiers, 
to the point that they are actually starting a "grant" program. a lot 
of military families in the lowest pay grades are on food stamps, 
apparently.

haven't looked beyond this, yet, but in the context of some recent 
exchanges about the all-volunteer army, etc. etc.
