I served also.
I do not resent your military retirement.
I do resent those who double dip
Those who double dip are military retirees, are they suppose to crawl in a hole and die after the military. You are obviously unaware the National Guard offer a program the specifically allows you to retire from both civil service and the military at the same time. Silly argument, you do resent my military retirement but you feel I should not have both, no freedom to chose my career, no right to, equal pay and benefits, I should be allowed to work for only a paycheck while others can do the same job and receive retirement benefits? For full disclosure if I leave my job at the end of 5 years I receive a severance, but as I posted earlier, I work for a profit generating entity, I am paid out profits and so is the severance. Not tax dollars.
