Full disclosure: I did 6 years active duty, so I do not qualify for pension of any kind.

With the money the service pays, I think the pension system is fair. 20 years (for half pension) of ****** pay still deserves something. Regardless of your views of the military or war, these folks protect our freedom, so I think they earn it.

Unlike Congress, senate, local govmt, water depts. etc.

I would like to see it so that NO public service job can have better benifits (health, vacation, pension) than our military pensioners.
