An interesting political statement, but not a particularly strong link to the challenge. Photos that depend on their title to relate to the challenge don't score as high... ask yourself, would this say "even" without the title?
I find money never photographs well. It hard to get it as sharp as one would like with out over sharpening. Your money look like it was taken in incandecent light and was not white balanced or leveled in the post process. Otherwise I like the perfectly black background. The composition and idea are good.
I understand the concept, but militarty members are paid more then that. The white balance seems to be a bit off. The dallors should show the green in the paper money. And the silver should be well silver. I see a dull yellow throughout this picture. I would have worked with the white balance a bit more.
