Isn’t there/didn’t there used to be a law/regulation that any military (officers) retiring from active duty COULD NOT be hired as lobbyists (etc) in the civilian sector for five years?

Circle jerk much? Who eats the cookie?
@Walter: I think it’s a doughnut, and you don’t want to be last. Last one eats.
Shoot the doughnut, shoot it fast, shoot the doughnut, don’t be last. I believe that’s the saying.
… and don’t miss!

Instead of circle jerk, I was thinking more of Dutch Rudder Club
