Nat, Re: Since World War I, all these big men conveniently forget those brave men and women of military afterward. Actually, the betrayal of war veterans started at the inception of the U.S. In the aftermath of the Revolutionary War, hundreds of patriot farmers were evicted from their land because they couldn't meet mortgage payments. The new U.S. government had made no provision to suitably reimburse the men for their service, and the bankers were feasting on the situation. This resulted in the "Shays' Rebellion", which forced the nascent government to eventually provide some relief for the betrayed. sjchs-history.org *********** It should be noted that the "GI Bill" after World War II was something of an outlier in the treatment of veterans in this country. A situation which the Bush team is currently working to bring back to the historical norms of "forgetfulness" about veterans by the Federal Government. -Ray
