It’s a scandal that’s rocking the nation: the alleged favoritism in the Navy’s retirement program. President Wilson’s approval of Secretary Daniels’ recommendation that no naval officers be allowed to retire unless specifically granted has raised eyebrows and fueled accusations of cronyism. At the heart of the controversy is the notion that those in power are looking out for their own, rather than serving the greater good. As one insider put it, ‘It’s a system rigged to protect the interests of those at the top, no matter the cost to others.’
