We have about 1.2 million active soldiers and 800k reserves. Let's say that the average salary of the 2 million is $50,000.

That means 100 billion dollars goes to salary. The budget for the military is 640 billion dollars.

The budget for SNAP, food assistance for our nation's poorest is 60 billion dollars. So if it's the "free lunch" vs the military money pit, it's fairly obvious to see which is more fiscally responsible.

You're blatantly ignoring other destinations for that money, which I very simply laid out for you.
