Plenty of people contribute to society in infinitely more positive ways than the military. Teachers, farmers, and weed dealers should get that discount alongside the military.
For all that people talk about teachers being paid more, I don't think the socially conservative wing of the country honestly gives a **** about actually paying for raises for people who teach science that contradicts their backwards ignorance.
