She did the right thing in retiring for herself and her district, and good wishes to her.
Spoken like a good little sheep. Tell me... what would you think about a military member with combat-related brain damage hanging out for five years on active duty unable to do his job just to get his full retirement? It makes much more sense to medically retire this person and take care of his combat-related injuries.
It says a lot about our society when we won't begrudge a legislator taking advantage of the system to get us to pay them an income for the rest of their lives but we would prosecute your average soldier who showed such hubris.
I would be upset with a military person if they acted like they could do full combat duty when they couldn’t. But, if they had a desk job instead, I wouldn’t really care. They deserve it without having to leave early.
Same here. I am sure she did what she could for her district even without being there.
