Would you consider a person in the military a professional athlete?

Question

Somebody I know thinks that people being in the military means that they are a professional athlete. He says that because they get paid to do it. I say they're not because they are not paid to play a sport. He says doing exercises and stuff is considered a sport. We are arguing about this topic. I would like to you what you guys think. Thanks

Answer 2

Its not really getting paid for that ONE thing.., plus part of being a professional athlete is competing against other professionals.

Definitely not professional athletes.

Answer 3
