Oh aren't you the clever one: those of us who served over 20 years in uniform get a limited pension when we retire from the armed forces. If you'd felt like serving your country in a whole lot of nasty places and occasionally being shot at for a long time, you'd have that pension too. Working in the government or for the government afterward is an option that many of us follow. We have expertise and experience most of the rest of the world doesn't have and we are sought out because of that qualification. Kind of a great idea, isn't it? Or would you rather the government only hire amateurs fresh out of school?
Sounds like you're just jealous.
