Is it true the story I heard that Carter denied the GI bill to Veitnam vets?

Actually, H.R. 8701, the GI Bill Improvement Act of 1977, provided expanded benefits for Vietnam era veterans, including a 6.6-percent increase in monthly educational assistance benefits retroactive to October 1.

The Carter regime screwed around so much with veteran educational benefits it wasn't worth asking for them. Besides, it wasn't as much money as I had in my credit card credit limit.

Educational benefits for Vietnam era service were a JOKE.
