Phil Beavers Report post Posted July 2, 2015 I agree with Non typical. My brother is a retired full bird Army Col and he has been in 4 over seas conflicts or wars. I think the most he has ever made was around $85.000 a year and he risked his life everyday. I don't remember him ever getting put on the IR list because of a stubbed toe or sprained finger. Well your brother sounds like a warrior! In a perfect world he should be fairly compensated..Before I watch any live sporting event I take my hat off, stand up , stare at the beautiful American flag and pay tribute to warriors like your bro. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
