Breaking the Faith
Today’s servicemembers are tomorrow’s retirees—and they
are watching!
Military
professionals earn unique long-term benefits as compensation
for risk and hardship endured during their careers. This
compensation includes lifetime access to quality health
care and a no-risk, defined-benefit pension—both of which
have proved for decades to be central to the readiness and
retention of the All-Volunteer Force. New fees, fee hikes
and more limited access to service providers have already
slowly eroded the value of retirees’ deferred compensation
over the years. However, the administration’s Fiscal Year
2013 budget request effectively phases out much of the value
of retirees’ health care compensation over the next five
years; further, it creates the conditions for the demise of
the existing military pension system.
