That happens to too many people when they retire. They often retire from life as well...

Shit. When I retire, I'd have to do something. I'll probably be in my 70's though. I have one of the few jobs left that still has a pension plan. I'll have to stay till I'm at least 67 to get 50% of my ending annual salary. I like being a Parts Changer. It's a fulfilling job. I'll stay longer if my body doesn't start breaking down.

I'll be a Triple Dipper...

Pension
401k
Social security (maybe... Maybe it will be defunct...)

LOL you make the strangest assumptions! Why do you think he retired from life and didn't do anything? He retired in 1991, you seriously think he just went home and sat in a chair for 20+ years? :lol

But it's good you are determined to remain active for as long as possible :tu

Please not that I didn't state that assumption as fact. I have noticed that more people die sooner after they retire if they stop working in some form or another, than those who remain working. If you wish, call it my inserting that opinion.

Quite frankly, time has been passing rather fast for me. I thought it was far less time than '91 that he retired.

They're war criminals for slaughtering Iraqis retreating from Kuweit.

Too bad Stormin Norman didn't storm Baghdad while we had the chance. the same way I feel about occupying Germany to the Rhine in WW2 yet letting the Soviets take control. I met a 89 year old veteran recently who said, he not only rode with patton, but was asked by Patton and his troops time and again, whether they'd rather march on to Berlin or obey Eisenhauer's orders and stand down, and the troops always voted to push on. Good ol bureaucracy FTW

Fuck you're stupid....."didn't state that assumption as fact".....well no shit, because its one of your stupid ass assumptions.....I also really like how you went on to explain to everyone your financial retirement plans as though anyone asked or gives a fuck.

There was alot of polictics that played into that decision and the ramifications of it was the cold war.

the UN resolution or mandate didn't include invading Iraq. I thought it strange that Iran-contra-criminal like GHW Bush used that as pretext not to invade and occupy Iraq.

Why? Because you never can?

Stormy had more class in the little finger of that Vietnamese kid he killed than the rest of you combined in all your fingers and toes.
