It is time to realize the GOP is no friend of the military. In fact, they have not been one for years.

You are full of ____. America is on the verge of total collapse and if you were really intelligent you would realize that we all are taking a cut. I am a Korean vet so spare the BS.

Time to reform Military retirement system…Many in the military are never in harms way and should work like a federal employees…others with jobs that require more physical duties should have the system they have now..

[Shimmer1]

I’d like to remind you both that not all retirees are officers and it will make a WORLD of difference to most retirees to not get the retirement or not get all of it. Please remember, especially you, Logical Me, that while i thank you for your service, that these men gave their future for a career in the military, and deserve compensation.

I’m merely a dependent widow, and therefore get 1/4 of his A/D pay, It’s not much, but it’s a lot of what I get each month. Many of us depend on getting what was promised, this isn’t a “gimmee”

If we’re ‘on the verge of total collapse’, there sure are a lot of folks in DC doing their damnedest to give it that final push.

I am not sure what you mean.

If you are a Korean vet and retired military, you are over age 62 and the COLA cuts do not affect you. Given your age, you are on Social Security and Medicare, which are by the way, two of the largest drivers of our debt and deficits (the other being Medicaid).

Due to political cowardice, nothing is being done to reform those time bomb programs.
