I would agree with this for government employees but not military. 20 years in the military is a lot different than 20 years as a civilian. Putting your life on the line for 20 years, for the American people, seems to me to be worth the money, and more, for their service.
The civilian component of the Federal government already has had something very similar to this for a long time. Despite what some people seem to think, very few Feds get the big pensions everybody thinks they do.

I would agree for some but not for others, the guys out actually fighting at the tip of the spear you’re right. The guys in the rear or back in the US doing things like acquisition, not so much. One of the things they should do is quit moving them around so often. Also, yes if we quit paying for illegals and welfare queens and all the other social programs but if they did that who would vote for the RATs?
