Lot of entitled wives holding the "D card" over their benefactor husbands about getting put up in the right palace in the right neighborhood.
Home-loanership accounts for a lot of these "I can't make black on 4K/mo, poor me" narratives, I'm afraid. I find that equally inexcusable.
This might be an over-generalization. I think there's a lot of different situations out there. As far as military goes, it's just an adjustment. Remember before 2001, the military used to make a lot less than their airline counterparts. Between 2001 and now, it reversed. And now, it's reversing again.
