I've actually spent time thinking about that and the only thing I can come up with is that it's easier. Rather than having to do all this special stuff with payroll, just charge everyone according to one structure with all of its existing flaws. It makes it easy they to also add exceptions, such as making all combat-pay or hazard-pay tax free.

I would be inclined to agree with you if the tax code wasn't already a gigantic complicated mess. I don't think tossing in a few extra provisions would make it that much more complicated.

True also, but people get all bleary-eyed when "the troops" are mentioned. Politicians use them to score political points all the time. But the idea of apportionment (money is fungible, etc) Caliber mentioned above makes the most sense to me.
