A reduction in the COLA for soldiers under 62 who are employed elsewhere doesn’t sound too bad. If I understand it correctly, that is. In any event, all of us are going to have to make sacrifices to stave off a bankrupt USA. The government’s unfunded pension liabilities are nearly equal to the future shortfalls facing social security. We’re all going to have to tighten our belts a little, lest it all fall apart.

You let me know when WE are ALL in this together “tightening our belts”. I’ll play along then, but not when entire segments of the “entitled” class are exempt.

Right now, the only ones getting screwed are the ones who stepped up and made sacrifices for this country.

If anything, those who have made the sacrifices and decisions to serve should be considered the “entitled” segment in all of this.

But instead, they are being singled out for a form of retribution, punishment if you will for doing the right thing.
