Some relevant data from today's San Jose Mercury News Military pay scales still trail civilian wages Young U.S. troops who could be at war in Iraq within weeks would be paid less for fighting Saddam Hussein than they would if they stayed home and flipped burgers. With the 4.1 percent military pay raise that just went into effect, the basic monthly pay for a private first class became $1,290 a month, or the equivalent of about $7.44 an hour for a 40-hour week, according to the Pentagon's new monthly pay tables. The sergeant who would lead a squad into battle would rate at least $1,733.70 a month ($10.48 an hour), and the second lieutenant in charge of a platoon would be paid $2,183.70 ($13.11). Food service workers in New York City, for example, average $9.10, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.
