“you’re jealous of those who are getting their promised benefits.”
Actually, if we cut and rationalize our costs, including federal, military, state and municipal pension costs, you can preserve a meaningful pension. If we use your strategy, military pension will be eventually eliminated because our money will be worthless, or we’ll be so far in debt we simply can’t pay.
“The fact that I cannot work due to my service-connected disabilities “
You sure there wasn’t a non-government issued cheeseburger or two in your past that may have contributed to your health woes?
Everything with you is someone elses fault. It’s pretty tiresome.

There are many, who through no fault of their own are disabled in some fashion due to their jobs in the service.
For only the disabled vets to take cuts, above and beyond the gibsmedats and all the other leeches living large in this country is gross malfeasance and we will pay a price in the future for this action.
The amount of disability pay is deducted from retirement pay unless it reaches a certain percentage threshold.
I don't know any disabled vets who are millionaires...do you?
