I think the above link is a pretty good response and it's true that the military and the contractors don't pay taxes... I'd also argue that they're far greater leeches than the ones who sit at home, collect welfare, and don't do anything at all because the contractors and troops actually do something bad... that is, they murder and destroy.
Sadly, too many people would rather see destruction than neutrality.
Also, if someone refused to comply with tax legislation, then the do nothing welfare recipients wouldn't be the ones using legislated violence against those who were productive... rather, the military would be the ones coming after productive members of society if the latter had a really sophisticated plan and the contractors would be receiving welfare also.
