Pensions continue to grow for military brass

Reasons for keeping pensions high for top brass is diminishing, said Loren Thompson, a military analyst at the Lexington Institute, and a defense industry consultant.

"Elevating pension benefits to retain generals in wartime might make sense, but the next time we go to war most of the senior officers in the force today will be retired," Thompson said.

...we need to take care of our service members, as long as it isn't the ones doing all the work.

Those that make the "mostest" are usually the ones that are cut the "leastest" -- if at all -- since they are generally the ones making the decisions.
