4. Busted to Two Star General
and having to go through life with the pension of an O-8 does not constitute punishment to me.

Assuming the Good General did 26 years of service (probably did more) he will now have to suffer with a retirement pension of $6,958.00 per month.

I do not begrudge military personnel a pension (hell, I am one) but the issue here is punishment not pay, and once the General gets over a little embarrassment he will be fine and dandy in the long run.
