They saw the problem with military retirement and government retirement plans back in the 80's. They tried switching to a plan called REDUX in the service and they went from CSRS to FERS to address the fiscal problems projected....so far only the military switched back to High 3 20 due to recruitment/retention problems. Are you saying that people who put their lives on the line don't deserve a nice retirement package for their sacrifice as compared to a private corporate employee who gets to go home to his family every night, doesn't have to sleep in a mud filled hole and get shot at or blown up by copper-top IED's from Iran. This is not the C4A I know. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Those who have put their lives on the line, sadly many who have lost them, deserve more, if that's possible, of the BEST we can do. After seeing the Nam vets being spat upon and crapped upon by this government and it's citizens, both of which have ALL their freedoms, thanks to these brave souls, I cannot understand how anyone could deny them anything reasonable regardless of what it relates to. Agent Orange along with a multitude of other issues comes to mind over this "Mudslide", or should I say "Shitslide" of BS from many of our ungrateful 'leaders' who have no problem sending others into harm's way as long as their asses are protected.
Don't get me started!
