Another day at work

Ya know how the Department of Defense is talking about changing the military retirement system because it’s unfair that retirees can retire at half pay after twenty years and the system needs to get more in line with their civilian counterparts. When this happens to their civilian counterparts, I say go ahead;

More than a dozen airborne Soldiers were seriously injured today during a training operation in Germany marking the first brigade-sized parachute jump of the 173rd Airborne Brigade since the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

More than 30 of the 1,300-plus troops who hit the silk over the Hohenfels Training Area needed medical treatment afterwards, including 13 for pelvic and upper body injuries, according to a report in Stars & Stripes newspaper.

Yeah, and that was just training, it wasn’t a real operation.
