I would imagine that they would seeing that they are getting all the back pay.kind of goes hand in hand.
Lifers will apply their reinstatement towards their 20 years and then quit(methinks).
Lifers in the military get screwed all the time. Some of the most bitter NCO’s were senior enlisted men who were just putting in their time.
Remember Trump poo pooing McCain’s POW record? Or dissing the guys at Normandy? He should refer to those shot takers as willing chumps, especially the generals.
On a lighter note I knew one lifer that got out after 19 years. Bill Clinton gave him credit for the 20th(downsizing). He will forever be grateful to the man. I would too.
