The defense implosion (II): Congress eyes trimming military retirement pay

I’ve decided to start a new running series on this blog, about how the defense budget will be cut. I am doing this because I suspect that slashing Pentagon spending will be a major running story in the coming years, perhaps even dominating the national security discussion.

Even so, I am surprised that military retirement pay is one of the first things getting eyed. I’ve seen this movie before: Thanks, vets! Now get lost!  

For those of you keeping score at home, consider this item the other day the first installment in this new series.
