Average $44,000 source

Darn sight more than our brave boys.


Interesting figures, but, I think they include and average of ALL ranks:

E2 - Private (Army) - U.S. National Averages

This one works out as twenty-eight thousand dollars, just over seventeen thousand five hundred pounds (basic salary being an equivalent of ten thousand eight hundred pounds). That includes all extras. For an OR1 grade Pvt in the British army (the lowest enlisted grade, out of basic training), the basic salary is about sixteen thousand pounds, then there's all the extra allowances in top.

So, which country's soldiers are paid more?
