I agree with everything you have said about military retirement.
Where I start to disagree is in raising the "retirement" age in general. For people such as yourself who active and engaged, I keep going back to those that simply can't keep up. They aren't able to engage with the latest technologies or to keep up with the pace of business (which seems to get faster every year), experience an increase in health issues and may not physically be able to perform in their trade.

All indications are that people already do not save much for retirement, and with companies abandoning retirement plans, what will realistically happen to those who cannot keep working to age 70? While I realize that SS was never intended to be a "retirement fund", the truth is that a good portion of our society relies on their SS benefit to fund their retirement. And if we change the SS eligibility what will be the cutoff for those currently working? Those in their 50's?

I don't collect SS, nor will I ever collect SS, so I'm just a casual observer.
