Housing allowance is tax free; then again, they're orders, not invitations--military people can't refuse the assignments they are given, and many have a permanent home they're paying for. All have a "home of record," and perhaps that's how they get around having to be taxed for being housed in a place where they are working because they've been commanded to be in that place at that time...?
