Sir, My question is about retirement.
My father is a veteran with 21 tears of service, and has done more in his enlistment than most men do with their entire lives.I ask: Why does a man who spends 21 years dedicated service only get 40% Retirment benefits?Why Does a Congressman who spends a Month in Congress get Full Benefits?
It seems like an Injustice to our Armed Forces, our Veterans, and to my Family.
That is All Sir.

That is an injustice to all of us. Those weasels should have four terms as a Senator and eight terms as a Rep before qualifying for such a deal.
I guess make that three terms as a Senator--they should have to work 18 years before qualifying for benefits.
