35k nearly untaxed, plus government funded Healthcare, education, housing fund, plus potential for promotions if you're not completely incapable. Let's not lie, the US spends a stupid amount of money to make the military a better option than sign spinning.
You still get shot or deployed to Washington. Idk, flipping a sign still sounds better.

Not all military members deploy to that situation, either. There are many non-combat roles.
