In the interest of shared sacrifice that if working age military retirees are asked to sacrifice 1% of their retired pay in accordance with the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 through age 62 to help with the budget deficit that the former Presidents under the age of 62, retired members of Congress under the age of 62, and federal civilians and executives under the age of 62 do the same. It is disparate treatment for the military, who has shouldered much of the burden of extended and back-to-back deployments over the last twelve years to once again sacrifice and furthermore shoulder the financial burden (deficit spending and national debt) brought on by inept politicians of this country and their profligate tendencies.
