As a former combat veteran and disabled Purple Heart reciepient I can not bring myself to support this piece of legislation either in concept or reality. Sorry. The money that would be set aside for this new entitlement could be better spent on those who served at the ready and those who did serve in actual combat and still in need of VA services.

With all due respect, you ought to reconsider your judgment upon the issue.

I am a Vietnam veteran who never faced direct combat. But, every day I worked at 5th AF, we relayed Steel Tiger/Barrel Roll frag orders.

I understand your feelings, but you really ought to learn more about the Guard and Reserve.

With much respect,
Gary
