There are soldiers this very day that qualify for food stamps, and some of them take them, but most won't, because of pride, so they and their families just suck it up.
Not many years back, in Germany, the Geman people had food give aways and clothes give aways for the families of American soldiers because of the low pay and the cost of living in Germany at that point in time.
