I know some....one guy got this full retirement because he developed diabetes during this career...another had back problems.( he worked on jet engines)..another was in rotc and develeped some problem, but he had his entire college paid for....
we talk about changing our entitlement attitudes and saving the country, its no different for the military...
what if our fathers in WW2 got full retirement after their service?..certainly they saw horrible things....
“guys getting these rather lavish retirement packages”
Lavish? Really?
Show me some who are above the poverty line.
