17. Gosh, so are community health service doctors paid more than private practice docs?

How about military docs? Paid 30 -40% more than private practice?

JAGS? Way overcompensated?

How much do SEALS earn vs the average mercenary in Afghanistan?

Perhaps I'm aiming too high? A basic Army recruit makes about $16K. A new hire cleaning toilets at Waste Mgt makes $22k.

I'd love to see how Mitt's figuring this stuff.
