The sad thing is, and I think I speak for all or almost all military retirees — I will gladly take the cut in benefits and pension IF it was done across the board to the entire Federal Spectrum.
Cut everyone - SS, Welfare, gibs me dats, fed employees, CONGRESS, PRESIDENT, etc. Cut fairly and evenly and you will get no argument from those of us who have sacrificed have our lives for this great country.
As a military retiree, your motion is seconded...
