200 thousand of my tax dollars for a retired desk pilot? Unbelievable how open the looting of the public treasury is these days. Enough is enough. No benefits for any public employee. Let them pay for it from their own pocket, and rather than mine for decades later. This has got to stop at some point.

Sorry, soldier, and you don’t get body armor, we have to pay flag officer pensions.
