Rule changes hurt vets.After reading the letter from Cheryl Monroe in your July/August DAV See WebDAV. Magazine, I couldn't agree more with her comment that "Rules shouldn't change on the whims of the current administration." Retiring in 1994, I was given a 10 percent disability due to a back injury. In 2005, I requested to be re-evaluated due to further complications that I perceived to be a result of that injury. After an appointment at the VA, I received a letter stating that my current symptoms were actually below the new guidelines guidelines, n.pl a set of standards, criteria, or specifications to be used or followed in the performance of certain tasks. for a 10 percent disability. However, no changes would be made to my current status.

However, being the good people that we are, we're not going to take away what we've already given you." Needless to say, I was not happy with their response and can only wonder ... our government is counting on our troops, yet is hesitant to pay for any injuries they may incur. With the decline in benefits, and the unwillingness to actually support our troops "Support our troops" is a slogan commonly used in the United States and in Canada in reference to the United States Military and the Canadian Forces (Army, Air & Navy). The slogan has been used in the recent conflicts, including the Gulf War[1] and Iraq war. after their time in service, no wonder our enlistment ENLISTMENT. The act of making a contract to serve the government in a subordinate capacity, either in the army or navy. The contract so made, is also called an enlistment.
