First of all a disclaimer -- I have no respect for Bill Gertz. I have had experience with dealing with him and he is not a responsible journalist. He used to write a column for the Washington Times.

I've been reading about this, and I think it sucks for veterans and is wrong. I believe this originally came out of the Pentagon as a way to save money -- you recall the Pentagon is scheduled for huge cuts and I believe this came out of some study done at the Pentagon. We've watched an eronsion of veteran's benefits over a period of time, and it is time it stopped. I personally would rather see a few hardware programs cancelled rather than erode our veterans benfits. Their "contract with America" is that they would give everything including their lives for the security of this country. We can at least stop cutting their benefits.
And they need to significantly up the funding for the VA, so that veterans returning from our current wars have a place to turn for long term health care for their war -related injuries. Once their lives are saved in a field hospital, their families should know that they will be taken care of by the rest of us.
