Welfare has a connotation that there's no work done for your pay, there's a lot of work done for it, and it's hard work.

Btw noone likes officers due to their lack of work required / cushy status.

Honestly that's the welfare of the military, giving out a sense of purpose and power to trust fund kids :p
