Military personnel that have Honorable serviced and whom have put their lives on the line for over 18 years in the protection of this Great Nation, should be allowed to complete their 20 years for Retirement. Due to the reduction of the Military, because it is OVER strength at this time, there are probably thousands of military personnel, if not more, with over 18 years of service that will not be allowed to extend or reenlist to hopefully complete there 20 years of HONORABLE service. I for one fall into this catagory and it is a SHAME that we RISK our lives and put so much time in for this Great Nation and fall short for a chance to Retire with PRIDE and DIGNITY.
