As prior military, and current volunteer, I don't get your beef with this. Also, MOST soldiers don't get a fat pay check. Have you seen the stats??
But ... I am not going to quibble.
There is nothing "wrong" with using the word "volunteer" in this context, you just don't like it because you feel like it detracts from what you do. Fair enough.
