Military pay

Tom Brosz — 1/20/2004 2:10:48 AM (archived)

I found out from one of the military bloggers that combat pay is not subject to Federal income taxes, which in my opinion, is the LEAST the government can do for active military personnel, very few of which have ever fallen into the "rich" category. I would not object to even more of military income being tax-free.
