So in order to save money...we are going to pay these guys something like 2 years salary, so we can save money in the budget? http://www.sacbee.com/topstories/story/1959685.html Unbelievable....why can we just fire them and let them collect unemployment for 6 months....we would save lot more money that way and being that they are military and some might be too proud to accept a handout, we wouldnt even have to pay them unemployment then! I cant imagine a brigader general going to the unemployment line to get his check after probably 30 years of telling the unemployed how lazy they are for not working.
