I wonder if the ‘have too good a deal’ logic will be applied to public section employees? I wonder if itll apply to current and former federal elected officials?
1st off, the retirement “pay” and “benefits” are a retainer. Once you “retire”, a stroke of the pen and your back active duty just like what happened immediately after 9/11. The rest of your life your eligible to be activated and must report for active duty. They provide healthcare to offer incentive to stay ready for such an event. I do. At 58 I can do more physically than when I retired 20 years ago because it is a responsibility I take seriously until the last day when I’m called up by my true Commander in Chief.
