The article argues US Treasury savings of 250 million next year justify ending a pension disparity. It cites that regular and emergency officers in Navy and Marine Corps receive equal retirements, while Army officers do not. The Ty son Fitzgerald bill would correct the wrong, costing about 1.19 million annually, a small share of war debt payments. Thirty officers have died from war wounds in six months, underscoring the need for equity.
