Will the insurrectionist retirees/veterans lose their VA/Service benefits?

Since military benefits are lost on day 61 of a criminal conviction, will we finally see the retired and/or separated insurrectionist veterans lose their retirements, GI/9-11 bills, and VA benefits and stop them leeching off a government they wanted to overturn in the first place?
In addition, will we see their respective services follow precedent and subject those retirees to Court Martials, as they are still bound by UCMJ after retirement?

They are not insurrectionists. You've bought into the Pelosi narrative. They were not rebels nor trying to destroy our government. Those insurrectionists are the criminal rebels in Minneapolis and Portland, among others, who killed, robbed and burnt down blocks at a time. If these retirees were in violation of participating in a riot then they should be prosecuted.

Remover any and all political bias and ultimately anyone that committed acts of violence and destruction/vandalism of property and assaults on law enforcement officers are CRIMINLAS. Those that attacked the Constitutionally designated seat of power and our elected representatives using force to interfere with the mechanisms of government are guilty of a crime. Their violation of of their oath to support and defend the constitution of the United States will not go unpunished. In the end. It does not pay to be a convenient idiot in the name of partisan theatrics and power plays. Politicization of military service is disgusting and we should all recoil away from it.

People who were involved with violence should be prosecuted. Again- take the politics out of it for 1 minute- WOULD YOU BE ALRIGHT WITH ANYONE PHYSICALLY BREAKING INTO THE CAPITAL AND HARMING POLICE OFFICERS AND DOING DAMAGE TO THE PLACE??
Makes my skin crawl to hear that term. The protestors on Jan 6th were not insurrectionists, they had zero chance of overthrowing the govt. Thats not how our govt works, he who sits in the capital doesn't become king.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - Does not matter what "they" believed or did not, they had not chance of success due simply to how our government is structured and works. They did not have the sitting President on their side, that was pretty resoundingly apparent and affirmed with this latest failed impeachment trial.
SSG Brian G.
MSgt Steve Sweeney - Very good, you finally figured that one out, genius. Now that you had someone smarter than you inform you of that little fact, ask them to point out in your favorite crayon color where he said to attack the Capital. Oh wait, that NEVER happened. That is the crazed moronic idea that people like YOU got in your heads and parroted after taking snippets from various speeches and assuming. No little intellect challenged one, they did not have ANY President backing them up. Or did you conveniently miss that in the evidence. You know, those things called facts that the Democrats LACKED utterly. Point of fact Trump only said to march to the Capital PEACEFULLY. Maybe when you learn to read you might comprehend these things.

The military has been taken over by communists and snowflakes... I wouldn't want to go to war with them... against them - I'd vote for that

SSgt Tom Neven - hate to tell you this, Skippy, but there was no "attempting to thwart" anything... and if they were, then a few cops with pistols stopped an "insurrection"... makes it a pretty sad "insurrection". It was "trespassing"... at worst. A innocent woman DID die, and no protests, no Presidential hosting in the White House... no riots. Makes you wonder how important that "insurrection" actually was.
