Paul said they need to look at military “entitlements” which are their pensions. I did not read in the transcript where he cited any other specifics.
AMANPOUR: Are you going to cut entitlements?

PAUL: It has to be everything across the board.

AMANPOUR: Entitlements?

PAUL: And you — you have to look at entitlements.

If you note, he didn’t say “military entitlements”. It was a followup question in regards to “entitlements” in general. Not specifically for members of the military.

Here is a later exchange in regards to military salary which is what I mentioned:

AMANPOUR: Pay for soldiers? Would you cut that?

PAUL: I think that’s something that you can’t do. I don’t think...

AMANPOUR: You cannot do?

PAUL: Right. I think that soldiers have to be paid. Now, can we say that gradually we don’t need as large of an Army if we’re not in two wars? Yes, I think you can say that. You can save money there. You can bring some troops home or have Europe pay more for their defense and Japan pay more and Korea pay more for their defense or bring those troops home and have savings there.
