On the other hand, I'll say the same thing I always say in regard to making it mandatory for government jobs.

This is addressed to the people who would like to give away the taxpayers' money:

"It's not YOUR money. It's wrong for you to give away other people's money."
How is demanding soldiers get paid liveable wage and not have to pay for their supplies out of pocket, wrong? Because one of the purposes of government is to protect and a well equipped, well paid military is vital for that.

Well equipped so that the they may fight they enemy with at least the weaponry the enemy has............ Well paid because I don't want soldiers out there worrying whether their wives and children have enough moeny to pay the mortgage/rent, utilities and food.

Or are you discussing a possible demand from corporations? In which case you are right, it's cool a company will pay and help but to expect or demand is not right nor acceptable.
