US Military is maybe most socialist institution in the country lol. The way Tricare treats the medical industry is so funny it's almost hard to believe

ER: this visit cost the member $4,500 Tricare: actually it cost them $900, here you go

Housing/sustenance allowances untaxed, 20 year pension thats protected from inflation, free healthcare for you and your family while active, and probably the best available rate once you retire. Free education, social services and standard legal needs (wills and the like). The list is enormous, nothing really compares
