The pension issue is not based on; nor does it have anything to do with how hard one works. It has to do with the fact that you are putting yourself in the position of going to war.
You give up your civil rights, the choice of where to live, basicly get paid diddly, put up with all kinds of hardships, you cant change jobs any time you want because you don't like your new boss, nevermind the joy of haircuts, uniform inspections, and being property. (before you argue that last one, read the military enlistment contract.)
