What are we doing with men who are ‘retired’ at age 46?
“What are we doing with men who are ‘retired’ at age 46?”
I know a cop in my town who did just that; we are going to pay them most of their salary, and provide health benefits to their families, for decades. In my area they would normally work part-time gigs (some of the youngest retirees were in before any college degree requirements, so they’d do a variety of things), but now that there is no work you’re just as likely to see them at the bar at noon.
Rank and file police officer, like enlisted military, is a physically demanding position that normally cannot be done by older men.
Therefore, after 20, 25, or 30 years you can retire.
Are you going to bitch about all of our brave military who enlisted at 18, served our country for 30 years, and retire at 48?
Medical retirement?
I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt until I hear more.
