Brandy is wrong. Military pay is taxable income. In some cases the pay is so low the military person does not owe personal income taxes.
Different pay for different ranks.
Different pay grades within certain ranks.
Different pay depending on years of service.
An E3 enlisted man with one year service may get $24,000. Some generals are over $150,000.

I was in the Army, so I only know that info. Base pay for your rank, housing and substinance allowance (if you lived off post at home AND have a family or are staff sergeant and higher. It's based on your residence in the US), hazardous duty pay (which is $250 a month, I think), and separation pay (another 100 to 250 dollars, I think). None of that is taxed.

If your question is how much US Army soldiers are being paid for their service in Iraq, then the answer is that it depends on their rank and assignment. Most are given a "battle pay" on top of their regular pay.
If you're asking how much the US Army is getting paid for being in Iraq, the answer is zero. The federal government is spending billions upon billions of dollars to fund the war.

First it depends on rank, if you're married, and where exactly you are going.
You get paid your regular amount- base pay plus BAH (basic allowance for housing- only if you do NOT live in the dorms, like if you are married) and you get BAS (basic allowance for substance- money for food. if you don't live the dorms) Those 3 things are what you get normally regardless of where you are.
Being deployed you also get these amounts in addition to base pay, BAH and BAS
hazardous duty pay- if you are in a hazardous area (war zone)
Per Diem- this amount is a daily rate you get paid depending on the base
Family separation pay- only if you are married, the amount changes with each base (for USAF it is around $250/month)
....some of those terms might be different for the Army, but the concepts are the same

I agree with the rest it depends on the rank they have but also they get paid extra for the area they are in, such as combat pay and hazardous duty pay.

Brandy is correct about pay being tax free but only if the soldier is in a combat zone. While in a combat zone all pay hazardous pay, regular pay and separation pay are all untaxed. which well it should be. These men and women are putting their lives on the line to defend the principals of freedom.

You can check military.com for a pay scale. Like they said above it depends on ranks. Military members also get pays other than their base pay depending on where they are and what the do.

"bypass the dollar Bush" implies plenty. 5x extra suitable does besides. The question is valid in itself....... despite the fact that the stupid Bush ingredient negates it. Did you have subject concerns with Blackwater till at last now you referred to it on television? Do you have awareness of government contracting at many extra suitable tiers than inner optimal threat-loose practices? we are talking approximately contracts indoors the masses of hundreds of hundreds. Democrats and republicans have a ingredient in this. won't see that on television besides the shown fact that. understand historic past? Been in Iraq? No. in a position to be employed via way of Blackwater? ingredient is think of of deeper. end thinking political events..... think of of why themes are as they are. learn some historic past and your eyes will open. yet i visit backdown and agree on the hassle-free ingredient. they have upped bonuses for the "specific" troops. despite if that may no longer adequate. it quite is larger undemanding than that. as rapidly as upon a time even the chefs have been militia. If mandatory they could %. up a weapon so which you in all probability did no longer could desire to spend money to guard them. I say rehaul the pay scale and bonuses. no one (in all probability some) if no longer militia enter a conflict zone. era.
