Published | Video Starts at 02:00

If I look at tab one here, every single one of these bonuses exceeds that by at least three, $13,000. And if I look at this, this tab here, this one, and I go all the way down. Right. Every single one of these bonuses exceeds an E7 who served their country in combat's retirement. The lowest one you got here is $38,584. That E7's retirement. Male, female, doesn't matter who they are. $34,810. Okay. Could you agree that something is wrong here? (02:00–02:10)
