I was with you until you said that military retirees “suck off the government teat”.

Ironic that you respond to what you consider disrespect of Armstrong by disrespecting millions of others.

Still, whether you think we deserve our retirement pay or not...

“You’re welcome “.

I suggest you reread the exchange of posts and the napscoordinators profile. He talks about us "Big Government folks" who think that having a state funeral for Armstrong should not use not a dime of taxpayer money and Armstrong's family should contribute personal funds while he is personally receiving his retirement benefits from the USG, i.e., the taxpayer.

I have no problem with government pensions. I get one myself having spent 36 years working for the USG counting both military and civilian service. The issue for me is hypocrisy.
