Yeah, I've been paying attention for the last 23 years which included multiple combat tours and a knee that will never be right again. If I'm really lucky, when I turn age 60, I can draw about 2,000 a month as a retired CSM with 30 years on the books. And now some jack wagon wants to convert my retirement? Make it into a 401K? Where is the government going to get the 23 years worth of matching funds? Or am I supposed to just suck it up and drive on while the powers that be continue to draw their pensions? I'll tell you what, when Congress as a whole lives in a rat hole for 18 months on rationed food and water, puts up with daily IEDs, mortars, and sniper fire, when they have to write letters home to parents, then maybe I'll listen to their harebrained ideas about how my retirement should be jacked with.
