Military retirement under attack
November 2014 I'm voting against every single incumbent. 33 Senators and 435 Representatives will be up for re-election, and the American public needs to un-sheep themselves and send a message. “The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive veterans of early wars were treated and appreciated by our nation." - President George Washington It disgusts me to see our Congress failing to lead by example. Austerity regarding their own benefits and salaries, regardless of how minor the effect would be on the overall fiscal picture, would at least be a start. This Congress continues to ask for more austerity from its citizens without accepting or sharing any of that burden itself. I'm beginning to wonder who works for who.

Military retirement under attack
Surely there are many moving parts here, but I think we can all agree on two things: 1. If Congress wants to change military retirement, they need to lead from the FRONT and make SWEEPING changes to their OWN pay/retirement system first. 2. Number 1 will never happen.

Hm... I think that the 240,000+ Korean/Vietnam war dead/wounded would disagree with you. Of course, we'd NEVER get involved in a series of proxy wars in Asia, right? That's never happened before.- What's wrong with the Air Force?

Way too many are NOT selects. I just don't get it. So many tiers of competition and quality cuts, and you're talking about the 0.1% of a commissioning year group.
