Are military retiree benefits a fair place to reduce federal costs?
Choices
No. Those who committed themselves to military careers did so at least in part on the basis of these retiree benefits.
Somewhat. The military retiree benefits package needs an overhaul to put it more in line with other federal jobs.
Yes. Lifetime pensions and health-care benefits after 20 years of service is simply too costly.
