Carry it one step further and think about going to war. You really take the same risks as the war fighter, but what about the "rest" of the military. The "rest" of the military gets to retire and start collecting retirement immediately while you have to wait until you are 60. How this ever got bought off on is beyond me. We should collect as soon as we retire just like the full time folks.
