I don’t blame military leadership. Their job is to fight the current war and prep for the next one. It’s Congress’ job to ensure compensation/benefits for military members is up to snuff. They will keep cutting until retention is a problem.
I completely get it. I understand the economics behind it. It's just BS to change the terms of the retirement after you are already retired.
You want to cut benefits for new entrants? Be my guest. Blended retirement is a great program for certain people. The way they did that is the way they should do any wholesale changes.
