I don't know that much about military pensions but I am more inclined to pay this for our veterans and dramatically overhaul to federal, state and local pension systems. Of the ~2 million federal employees only ~34% are in the military (based on 2008 data). I say we fix the 66% whose biggest hazard is a paper cut and leave the military alone for now. And the statistics are even worse when you include state and local government workers which have ~8.3 million workers. Now the military accounts for only 6% of the total government workforce. Surely if we reform the pension system for the 94% first we can leave the military as is.

Just an initial gut reaction as I have not thought a lot about this.....
