Military personnel who have served this nation for at least 20 years should receive 100% retirement benefits. Currently, they receive only 50%of their benefits. Congress, on the other hand, elected to receive 100% of their benefits.
Our veterans have protected citizens here and abroad, putting their lives on the line protecting freedom in our land and in others, and should receive 100% benefits.
Why is this important?
Currently, Military personnel who have served 20 years or more, receive only 50% of their retirement benefits, while Congress receives 100% benefits. Those military personnel should get 100% benefits. Many of have family that has served in the military, having served 20 or more years, only to retire having to find jobs or work to piecemeal money to fill in the gaps, that the other 50% of their benefits would fill.
