Point taken......I was only talking about the COLA.

If it was up to me..........we'd NEVER cut benefits to our fighting men and women. But as I had this discussion with a co worker a few days ago, where does the benefits for our fighting men/women stop. What about Frontline FBI, what about Frontline DEA, what about firemen and police.

So I adjusted my thought a little. ANYONE who puts themselves in harms way for society should be effectively compensated and taken care of for the risks they take for the betterment of our society.

****, I'm beginning to sound like a socialist
