"Apropos of todays' permanently disabled war veterans who are unable to collect both disability pay and military pension as they should. "

How is that?

[adlaistevenson]

A 20 year veteran with full permanent disability gets the disability pay but not his regular service pension because the government deducts the disability as a "tax" against their pension. These wounded former soldiers should, in my opinion get both. And for that matter, they(like former Sen. Max Cleleland, who left three limbs in vietnam)shouldn't pay any tax on either. I think it is unconscionable that President Bush is blocking the reform proposal which would end this injustice. I understand that it is difficult to actually believe this is the administrations position. But, as always, I encourage you to contact either your congressman or the white house and they can confirm the unfortunate truth.
