Army personel get to work for 18 years and then get a salary for life. So if they start at 18, they can retire at the old age of 36, with all benefits paid courtesy of tax payer.
Now they can talk on the mobile during this period...
I agree to above advantages to veterans of wars (ie Nahr el Bared). Not for those sitting in barracks for 18 years.
