Not bizarre in the least! Each one made a choice: one made a "help defend their country" choice, the other made a "creative" choice.

What IS bizarre (and so totally wrong) is that this government places so little value on those who may ultimately make the ultimate sacrifice.

• No, because if everyone does one thing, nobody does the other. We call ourselves social Fabric. Not everyone can be a doctor, not everyone can be a policeman, not everyone can be a fireman. Collectively we are human. Every function count and contribute to human society.
  
  So , no job is less decent than the other. I guess you are teenager trying to grow up. Just a normal phase of life. Enjoy it.
• I think 20K for serving in the military is low. I see NOTHING wrong with a designer making as much as a soldier. Pay is based on what your PRODUCT is worth to the buyers. If people are willing to pay more for your designs, there is nothing wrong with that.
• No -because they both knew what they'd be earning before they chose their careers
  Do remember your friend in the army gets fed and doesn't have travelling expenses so in real terms he is better off financially
• No. They chose to do what they do and presumably knew what they would be paid. They are also paid by people having different values.
• So, one volunteered to be shot at, and the other gets to use his head for creative purposes?
  
  Seems fair to me.
