Obviously, from my Forum name, I am retired military (I am a “mustang” - I started out as a draftee private). My retired military pay is not enough to live on. I suppose I could go on social security and then have "just enough." So… as a retired military officer… I cannot afford to retire.
Retired military have a different mind-set. They serve first and then continue working to retire from their civilian labors. Do you know ANY retired military person who is able to work but doesn’t?
Then… what if I had died in Iraq. How would my SGLI (for which I paid the premiums) compare to the sum of money paid to each of the families of the Twin Towers?
I DID NOT SERVE FOR THE RETIREMENT BENEFIT!
And, you should consider carefully how you perceive the service of those who defend.
