No. You get so many tax breaks anyway. Shopping at the base commissary is tax free. Shopping at base Exchange or Army & Air Force Exchange is tax free. While in combat zones you’re tax free. My tax returns, while in the Navy, we’re about 10K a year. You’re good, I promise.
The amount of your return is meaningless in this context.
We should do away with income tax totally

No.
Military personnel get paid out of the federal budget, they pay no net taxes anyway. Having them pay tax is just putting them into the same system that the government uses to incentivize certain behaviors as everyone else.
Not including your own. As I said below, that’s like believing you can make a pool deeper by scooping water out of one end and dumping it into the other. When you work for the government you don’t pay net taxes. Private enterprise does.
If everyone worked for the government, the government couldn’t fund itself. There would be no one to tax.
Yes
Combat zone pay is tax free. So are the TSP contributions.
Absolutely not
Without reasons I can’t take this as a real response.
No, military are citizens first and need to pay in like everyone else.
Quite literally says “pay in with money” in my post, G1. We all paid in other ways. Shave your angry Facebook veteran goatee, take off the grunt style shirt and read more carefully.
Military in active duty is already entitled to tax exemptions. They also get other benefits while on active service.
I never was. Federal, state, and local taxes were taken from every pay.
