The point is that 40-yr olds don’t retire. I know all sorts of double-dippers - people who did 20 years in a military or civil service job and now collect a full pension, while also collecting a full pension for the job (very often civil service) that they did for the next 20 years until they reached actual retirement age.

This shouldn’t be the case. Somebody who’s been in combat perhaps should get some special bonus, although those people rarely last 20 years. But an automatic full pension after 20 years is ridiculous and also encourages skilled people to leave the job.

Do you even have a clue what a “full pension” is? I gave you an example in my post to you and you “conveniently” ignore it.

You’re sure doing your damned best to make it sound like an E6 or E7 after 20 is swimming in cash...and that’s inexcusable. A lie by any other name...

Folks like you sure are doing a damn good job of stirring up ignorant and gullible folks with a pack of damnable lies and inuendo.

20 YEARS IS WHAT?

When someone is shooting at you, 20 years is not anything but LUCKY YOU SURVIVED!

This budget gives money to Illegals but cuts it from Veterans for what.......23 billion cut maybe in ten years maybe? OH wait, it stops a GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.

You know what else stops a Government Shutdown? STANDING UP AND NOT GIVING UP AND EVENTUALLY THAT SCUMBAG ODUMBI WILL GIVE UP AND OPEN THE GOVERNMENT UP.

All you have to do is explain to the American People what will happen if we don’t stop the wild spending, the wild printing of money.....WE WON’T HAVE A GOVERNMENT TO SHUT DOWN.

If the full pension was part of the original agreement when the military person signed on then they should get the full pension whether they have a civilian job or not. The civilian job is no one’s business, but the pension...that is a promise that either should not have been made, but since it WAS made it should be kept.
