There is talk but the sheer logistics of it is going to take a lot of work. I.E., access to installations. Frankly a lot of veterans that didn't reitre have committed crimes post service that render them ineligible for access to installations.
I am not sure that I agree with all veterans. I think the commissary is a privilege and not a right. Those that have served till retirement either Active/Guard/Reserve have earned that privilege.

You are probably right. I was just thinking of the commissary hitting a break even point.
