Would you care if they took away your retirement? Of course you would. If “they” took away my retirement… yes, it would hurt… very much so. Am I worried about future retirees? Yes, look at what has happened to Champus… now, TriCare. Every promise held out to me in 1968 has been broken.
I don’t see why you feel compelled to be condescending to me (e.g. “How noble of you.”) I cannot fathom how you read such things into what people write on this forum. Maybe I haven’t earned your respect. Maybe you perceive tradition and honor as silly or suspect. But, I surely don’t deserve your contempt!
You see, this is exactly why I should have stayed out of this thread. It is NOT a soldier’s lot to set his own pay. And, I knew that one of you would slam me from some unforeseen direction.
I was right. And Hound, I will have nothing more to say in this thread!
