I have no service-connected disabilities. I was in Vietnam for a few months, as a DOD civilian on TDY from Japan. Nobody owes me anything. I didn’t mean to imply that anyone did.
“I entered into the Federal Service after four years of active duty in Sep 1964. I retired in Jul 1997. I have paid insurance preniums every pay period since then. Even today, I’m paying $300 a month for the federal BC/BS and another $100 a month for Medicare. And I am NOT complaining.”

I am just confused why you were comparing your service and what you pay to Military Retirees who either did 20 (or 20 plus years), multiple deployments, and may have service connected disabilities. What you pay has no connection to what a Retired Service member has earned.
America may not owe you anything, but Retired Military have earned what Obama is now trying to take away.
