H.r. 1538: Dignified Treatment Of Wounded Warriors Act

[sixthscents]

I would reccomend everyone read and study this new bill. It's going to be law, and thats just a fact so you might want to familiarize yourself with it. There are some sweeping changes for new veterans, and for veterans who were in service as far back as 2001.

It addresses the issue of the military's obviously completely biased Medical Review Board process, and all the 20% severances that should have been retirements.

It demands that a review board research EACH severance and issue a correction to records... with I would assume a retirement. How that will weigh out I am not sure.

Further it clearly states that the military MUST follow VA rating guidelines... no more "back sprain" severances....

Plus lots of other stuff... read both the house and senate version... again this passed unanimously, so Bush cant stop it even with a veto... it will still be passed. All he can do is put on a smile and take it...

Just like he did with TriCare recently.

Anyway the house version and a link to the senate one can be found here... this is important stuff so I'd suggest reading it.
