Panetta: 401K instead of high 3 for military...

[Lovebears65]

Hello warrior. I remember in the middle 80s, they ef'd with the retirement system and had to change it back because of retention problems. Why spend 20 plus years and have to wait for your money from some crappy 401 that will probably be worth squat? A lot of talent will bolt at 10-12 years before they get too old to compete in the civilian job market. Readiness and effectiveness will suffer.

Carter and Clinton years in the Navy for me, were the worst.
We were economic Guinea Pigs for those assholes.
Many servicemembers and their families suffered - at POVERTY levels. Pay sucked, deployments were long, morale was horrible. No wonder people are leaving. Everytime a Dem is in the WH, the military gets shit on.

And that's the facts Jack.

Then the dems wonder why the military vote Rep!!!
