do they get back pay on the pension
That question was addressed in the article.
the issue of back pay remains complex and largely unaddressed in the immediate details provided by the officials. They did not specify commitments regarding back pay for the time veterans were unjustly separated from service, which suggests that further clarifications from the Department of Defense might be necessary.
That’s a lot of words for “lolno.”
If he’s able to do it now he’s been about to do it the last 3 years. He held their rights hostage for power
Better than not doing it at all
No it’s not. Anyone holding people’s rights hostage for power is psychopathic
Putin says unranians don’t deserve the power to light up their homes, or the power to have anything more than rubble…
Are you calling his eminence, Putin, a psychopath?
Unranians? Like, folks from Uranus?
Biden is holding peoples rights hostage
regardless of what biden is or isnt doing, trump would just remove the rights entirely, so still gotta vote for biden
Either way rights are being taken
(supposedly) taking and then giving back is better than permanently removing, no matter how you look at it
Yes, it literally is.
Doing it late is bad, as you describe.
Doing it never is worse.
Even if this were true (which it’s not) it’s still better to have rights than to not have them
The ultimate end-goal of a president’s first term is to be elected for a second term, and we Americans have very short attention spans. Stuff like this that seems like it should obviously have been done as soon as someone with the will to change it comes into power is more politically beneficial to do in an election year. It’s a shit system, certainly, but even the (relatively speaking) “good politicians” have to operate within it.
They can’t do everything everywhere all at once.
Then suddenly when they need votes they find the time
I’m happy they did the right thing. I lived under Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Trump. (Don’t really remember Bush Sr or Regan personally) And one team helps us, and the other fucks us over. I will remember this in the voting booth.
They did the right thing when they needed votes, not because it was the right thing to do.
