Some of the following will be new to some veterans and to Col. Bud Day (Medal of Honor recipient) who became a lawyer so that he could carry the broken healthcare contract through the courts system only to lose to a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2002.   I am a Viet-nam veteran and do not like the deception any less than my father who was a WWII veteran.   But I have even more horrifying news to add to this debacle.

As of 2007, military recruiters across the country are still propagating the lies to entice young people to enlist.   I have talked to several recruiters who believe that they themselves will be eligible for lifetime healthcare when they retire in 20 to 30 years.   In addition, I was told by a military academy graduate, that the introductory phamphlet (sometimes referred to as the "COMIC BOOK" by new cadets at West Point, the Naval Academy, etc.) promotes the same deception within its covers.

Bud Day and all members of the U.S. Courts system to put an end to this continuing deception in lieu of the 2002 U.S. Supreme Court decision.   I would aslso suggest that the new President-elect be asked to use the powers of his office to end this destructive deception.
