You already get disability and your retirement, that was signed into law last year by Bush and it was not Kerry's idea.

That's not quite true. It provides concurrent receipt only for those with a disability rating of 50% or more. That's a very small portion of the military retiree community.
And in fairness, although Bush signed it, he did fight it every step of the way, including a threat of a veto the previous year, which killed it for another year.

I think the rub was removing drug addiction as a disability. Also they finally went back to review the disabilities,removing those who were questionable. The ignorance surrounding this issue is appalling.
