Hannity had Phil Bronstein, the author of this article, on his show last night and asked Bronstein why the shooter didn’t just get a desk job and wait out the necessry three years to retirement. Bronstein replied that the shooter wanted more excitement than a desk job would provide but didn’t want to be in direct combat the way he was. That strikes me as rather odd. After all, the guy spent 17 years suffering and risking his life for his country, picked up a number of permanent injuries that will only get worse as he gets older, and has a family he needs to support. Under circumstances like that most men would hang in there for the rathe sulbstantial pension that would be forthcoming and serve out the rest of their time to retirement.

but of course it’s much less work to sit around and piss-and-moan about your lot in life, and hope someone gives you a handout instead of doing what is required to provide for your family...story sounds pretty fishy to me. Guess everyone is a whiner now...
I know for a fact that senior SEALs close to retirement don’t exactly have “desk jobs.” They run training facilities for younger SEALs, and it’s about the best job in the world for guys like them.
