August 17, 2008, 6:30pm (report abuse)This bill needs to be passed. If Congress decided that the original bill was appropriate, then how can they justify that those who served before Jan 28, 2008 are somehow unworthy of the same consideration? In Iraq, at least, the servicemen and women who served prior to Jan 28 served in a far more hostile, dangerous, and onerous environment than those who are serving now. This is a slap in the face of all those who served prior to the date of eligibility.

September 2, 2008, 4:39pm (report abuse)HR Joe Wilson and Senator Chambliss are true patriots for proposing HR 4920 and S2836 that reduce retirement eligibility for Guard and Reserve for active duty served 2001 to 2007. Those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan during this period deserve the same consideration of those serving in 2008 and beyond.
