In consideration of the fact that 1) very few American workers in private industry have defined pension plans (most get at best 3% employer contribution to 401K), and 2) private industry workers are expected to contribute to Social Security for 40 years of more before collecting full retirement at age 67; is it fair that a retired military person gets 50% of salary for life beginning immediately upon retirement, often before age 40, leading to a potentially huge payout over time? Of course all (normal) Americans appreciates the service of the military person. The question is do you agree that the current military pension system is fair to the American tax payer and should continue as-is unchanged as other entitlements are addressed?
