Obama said that such changes would support the soldiers, who currently serve for their motherland, as well as their families. According to Obama, Congress would approve the final decision on the question on 30 April 2015, Pravda.Ru reports.

In accordance with recommendations of a military commission, anyone who has served 20 years or more will continue to receive full retirement benefits.
