I mean I read the book so I already knew that Starship Troopers was a satirical work, but there's plenty of people who looked at Starship Troopers and thought that it was a future that humans should strive towards.

I'll stick my guard reserve time out to 20 for whatever retirement that'll come to, and consider running up the score if I'm doing something I like. If nothing else it's cheap healthcare for the next 9+ years.

There is a lot that is hosed up about the reserves but, having some sort of real pension and health care for myself and my spouse is a big draw as an additional job.

The retirement plan for guard/reserves is pretty minute in comparison to the active component isn't it? Like an average guardsman who gets out as say... an E-7 with 2 deployments and does 20 years ends up only getting like $500 a month? The healthcare benefit is super nice, i won't argue that.

Casimir Radon posted:

It's not real high. Mine might be alright because I was a guard bum early on, and have a lot of points.

Even $500 a month is still $6000 a year once you turn 59 or so. A lot of people wish they had that coming in.

I am not a retirement expert, this is just my understanding as to what I have come to learn over the years.

Yeah, so a non-regular retirement is based off the number of points you accrue during your career. You take those points (1/day active, 4 in a drill weekend - 2 periods over 2 days, and then unpaid drills and funeral honors) and you divide them by 360 to get what your equivalent in years would be.

Using myself as an example, I have 12+ years in with just over 3000 points. If I could retire today, I would be around 8.5years active and would get me 21.25% of my high three years in my base pay at 60yo (then reduced by 3 months for every consecutive quarter in an FY you are mobilized for a contingency operation so, right now I could get paid at 59.5yo). So, to complete the example for myself, figure I will have another mob in me and will get picked up for Warrant so will end up around ~25% which would be ~$1500/month.

Because those Democrats, or should I say communists, in Washington and the People's Republic of Austin are gonna take away your god given rights if they get elected!

The actual part of the article is, who knows why the Zodiac Killer thinks that or that Whataburger comment from a few weeks ago

quote:

Cruz returned to the subject Sunday, tweeting, “@peta protested our town hall yesterday, handing out barbecued tofu. We were glad to welcome them, but it illustrates the stakes of the election: if Beto wins, BBQ will be illegal!”

Miller underscored the message, retweeting: “Texas on the brink of #AbolishBBQ if voters don’t #KeepTexasRed.”

The PETA protest outside Schobels consisted of four volunteers holding signs. Their demeanor was all smiles and their message was that “Republicans eat tofu too.” They offered free samples of barbecued tofu.
