As far as them "representing our country" and not paying taxes for that definition, I am all for that. As long as you put service members in the same class.
How do the perceptions of people change when looking at this same conversation when it involves professional athletes? Such as the US Olympic basketball team?

I am most certainly allowed to have my own views on whether I think athletes are paid too much or too little, am I not? Simply because I think differently, and disagree with the norm, via my own values, does not exclude me from stating those values, and my supposition that others might question their own.

By the time all is said and done, I hardly think the tax issue is a burden for many, if not any, of the medal winners, post USOC processing and guidance.

I think you need to check your values
