When I look at developing a model and doing the research in my academic work, as well as my advocacy, I look first at what's available out there. When we say that military service is the highest form of public service, then it better be a higher form of compensation than the public service.
We have to also separate the two types of pensions. There are the pensions, which shouldn't be called pensions, but are really monthly gratuities paid for pain and suffering.

The other ones we're talking about are simply offsets to income replacement programs.
