Retiring after 34 years is hardly “ being fired”

Some scuttle says his billet was being downgraded to 3-stars which is why it was time to pack it in

Gosh, i wonder how much we all get to pay the good generals for full pensions and 100% disability pay for life? Sitting in office chairs causes back pains which is full disability pay. Oh…and insomnia!

Playing the game and going with the flow. One can lead a good life. Their new retirement system with 401k-like savings plan would allow the disillusioned to drop out without throwing away too many years of their life. The senior enlisteds have to be more committed as no one enjoys their life being defined as following orders.
