No its correct. Nam vets were promised perks and in end got the shaft. Esp. those who continued to work for and retired federal.
Example...were told Fed would pay their and our share of Social Security while on active duty. They did but then said was a mistake. Called for the $$ back lump sum or w/ interest. Future DoD retirees not paying would have permanent heavy pension deduction.
Another. Were told on entrance to military Social Security "Not" a pension. Could draw Social Security and a federal pension. After the fact, passed 2 laws to reduce Social Security for federal pensioners. Suddenly Social Security was redefined as a federal "pension".
What really sticks in craw even more...immigrants and illegals drawing, and...wives who never worked able to draw +/- $1000 by filing against husbands account.
(And yes, have well over the 40 quarter minimum to qual for SS).
There is and will be no justice for Nam vets. We're "dying breed" no longer of value to politicos.
Thanks for the opportunity to vent!!
