The military services’ top enlisted leaders pointed out retirement confusion, housing deterioration and slow growth in overall compensation among top quality-of-life concerns for troops and families at a congressional hearing Friday, where a California Democrat on the panel of lawmakers described his own expected $60,000 federal retirement as "not a lot" and said it's "unfair for people to say" military compensation is "just not enough."

How do they thank the military for fighting over two decades long wars? They give them miniscule pay raises, reduce BAH, make co-pays more expensive, look into shutting down commissaries, and make retirement worse for the families that cant afford to contribute much.
