Money Problems
Do you know what is going on outside of our beautiful country. War, pain ,suffering. The people who have to deal with that are also protecting you. Yet they are paid less than almost any sport on earth. This inequality will end, Right NOW. Alright so the sport I will be comparing payments with is an average pro paintball player. I chose paintball because that's just the sport I am most familiar with. So the average paintball pro player makes approximately $20,000 a year as stated on .http://www.pbnation.com/showthread.php?t=3082825. That's just an average player with no side job or sponsorships.

Also think about if they are injured they have to pay hospital bills which could range anywhere from $90,000 to $100,000 every visit, according to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17671005. So yeah can you see the
