I'm told the gentleman in question had his pension frozen, not stolen. Additionally, he had a full Air Force retirement as well. Thus, I don't think this was an issue of "having no choice" (a bogus argument anyway, there's always a choice).

My bigger point is this: what amount of "recovered pension" is worth ending up on a slab in a morgue in Boise, ID?
