I've often wondered how anyone could possibly be happy defending a country that treats you, and pays you, like a second class citizen.

This is so true. The generals and other officers do alright though. My father stayed in the Army reserves after he got out of the Korean War and rose to the rank of Colonel. We used to go to the Officer Clubs on bases and though they weren't country clubs by any means, they had everything like them, tennis courts, golf courses, high end dining, and everyone saluting you all the time.
