I don’t believe akaka
The other bills Akaka submitted at the same time ‘as a courtesy’ were S. 1757, S. 2025, and S. 2027. This is the only bill that reduces or limits benefits.
S1757 extends benefits for people who were injured during chemical or biological tests, more funding for gravestones for vets, and more training.
S2025 extends what vets can receive full pension.
S2027 adds more programs honoring veterans.
Something just doesn’t smell right here.. The other bills Akaka says he submitted for the President all increased benefits and honors to vets except this one. I need more information before I believe Akaka and blindly knee jerk blaming the Administration.
