The rejection was not based solely upon the 25% over four years, but the elimination of retirement benefits and bonuses (a.k.a. profit sharing).

In addition to losing retirement pensions and benefits they were behind by about 40% in wages due to previous cuts.

It's no wonder they are having safety issues with all those disgruntled disheartened employees working there.

I certainly wouldn't be whistling while I worked there if they negotiated away my wages pension and benefits.

"That's why they're kicking NATO's ass. They work cheap."

NATO is not in the fight.

Tiny Ukraine is still not conquered after three years. And you think Russia is kicking ass?

What is wrong with you?

Killing people isn't supposed to be lucrative.

The military-industrial complex gave $10.2 million to members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committee prior to their votes this June to increase overall defense spending for FY23.

This year, the armed services committees voted to increase the Pentagon budget beyond the President's $813 billion request for the Pentagon for the coming fiscal year, a $31 billion increase from the previous fiscal year, by an additional $37.5 billion in the House and $45 billion in the Senate.

Not lucrative my arse.

"Is that why You got into it? For the Lucre?"

I "got into it" from a desire to learn more about my own country and do my part to serve my country and even gain a marketable skill in the process.

And what planet do you come from where they don't make money killing their own? I would like to go there and see how they did it.

Humans have made fortunes and careers out of killing other humans for thousands of years here on earth.

I could also make good money working in the defense industry. Singer Link offered me a lucrative position but I turned it down. I decided it was not all about the money but the dignity and effects of my work and the amount of time I could spend with my family. And since I had to work for a living (not independently wealthy) I chose to work in a field that helped humans and cared for the planet. Not kill them and blow it up.

So many questions.

Try reading a book or taking a class on the subject you have questions about. Or get yourself a "Good Guy" AI.

I mean the Money,..just makes our Warriors So much Better.

Lol.

Yeah. It's pretty simple.

The better you pay your Warriors the better they will serve you.
