I thought the military could retire with a full pension after 20 years. Wouldn't that imply that they have an expected retirement of around 40 years?

- datadrivenangel 2y agoPeople living closer to 80 than 65, assuming enlisting at ~20 and retiring at 40.
- HWR_14 2y agoBut 65 is an unrealistically low life expectancy for someone retiring from the military.
- CobaltFire 2y agoLittle late here, but it wasn’t really when the system was put in place. Smoking, alcoholism, poorer medical care, etc. likely meant a much shorter lifespan.
