To be clear, the panel’s suggestion is not to tweak the program, their plan is to replace it with a new program that would allow members to retire after 10 years, but not start drawing pay until they reach 60 years old. Heh heh heh! What a deal!!! Hey America! How's that hope and change thing workin' for ya? The illegal aliens are making out like bandidos! One "Dream" Act! Coming up! (No Dream Act for you gringo!)

I’m not saying that the military couldn’t cut some costs, but I’d like to see the majority of cuts come from items not specifically authorized under article 1, section 8 of the Constitution. Is that too much to ask?

S’cuse me??? 28 years of living out of a suitcase, missing 6 years in a row from my marriage, deployments to places National Geographic won't go, sleeping in tents, incoming rockets/mortars, etc. I'm sure there are more than enough vets here that can add to this list... What compensation would be just??? I demand to know!!!

Let’s hope we don’t find out what an all volunteer military thinks about this BS...if the real troops vote with their feet, the Military might have big problems finding anyone but gays who will take that kind of deal...

Retirement pay is based upon the “...retirees last month’s pay...”
The last month’s base pay, not the actual pay a service member receives. Basic Allowance for Quarters (BAQ) and Basic Allowance for Subsitance (BAS), plus any other allowance and incentive pays, such as flight pay, are not included in computing retirement. Something many civilians do not realise.
