Exception to Military retirement benefits

Created by J.R. on February 11, 2013

Americas Special Operations Forces (SOF) often place themselves in harms way, and sacrifice their own well being, for the successful completion of a mission that is of the utmost importance to the greater good. The wear and tear that they place on their bodies is far greater than that of any conventional force. I believe that if an operator completes 10 years in the SOF community, of any armed force, they should be entitled to a pension, just as a 20 year veteran is entitled to. Often these men are dismissed, and overlooked because they did not complete a 20 year hitch, but their personal injuries are greater than that of someone who has completed 20 years of service as a cook, or quartermaster.
