with a high position comes the pay, whatever it may be. a 4 star general/admiral makes over 15k a month base pay. is that too much? thats 30+ years of dedicated service and top brass in the military. how does one judge pay as over sufficient when they cant even make proper judgement on their own life decisions? ---
