Pathetic. I'd say they're entitled (by Federal law, if not by common sense) to the full benefit of their mil leave. They aren't retired yet, so save your grandstanding for the kids on your front lawn. Thread drift indeed.
Every employee should feel accountable for Sick List. Call in Sick too many times and you get to produce a note for every time you call in sick. That is irrespective of your background.
If one guy is lying about his days then he gives the entire group a black eye. If you support guys being dishonest about Mil leave then you and I will never agree. I suspect they wouldn't be checking if they hadn't found a few being dishonest.
If you aren't "fudging" your days then you wouldn't have anything to worry about. I get the impression you are arguing that MIL guys are above reproach. Yet we had two in Scotland have issues just recently that made worldwide headlines.
