What did the soldiers ever do to earn anything anyway?

It would be one thing to change the retirement system for those just entering service, but to change the system that was in place when someone signed up is just plain wrong. You either honor what you agreed to or you don't. The soldiers held up their end of the bargain. Of course expecting a politician to exhibit honest dealings is asking too much I suppose.

I wonder what the politicians reaction would have been if their own retirement plan were threatened with a cut?
