#2 Grab your PACKAGE, hold a press conference, and retire in protest. Oh, at age 62+, can't make it on $22,000. (retirement salary corrected per #4 below) per month and benefits, less power perks......what was I thinking.

And yes, we had to read about it in Asia Times.

#4 "Having been a well-compensated industry executive, Rumsfeld viewed admirals and generals as underpaid. Besides raising star-rank pay, he wanted the military basic pay table expanded to incentivize longer service.

He got what he wanted, and maybe more. In September 2006, a newly retired member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who served 38 years drew initial retired pay of $114,000 a year. Today a JCS member retiring after 38 years draws more than double that amount, about $241,000. If that four-star officer completes a 40-year career, his or her retired pay today would be higher. Four officers today receive more than $256,000 in retired pay and one get[sic] more than $277,000, according to the Defense Department actuary."
