"The Pentagon, the decision concludes, "lacked the authority ... to promise free and full medical care" because these benefits cannot be subject to a contract, implied or otherwise."

They can arbitrarily enforce a minimum wage upon work contracts - but they can't promise lifelong healthcare?

Yeah right.

I consider this ruling part of the eroding respect given to veterans and the WWII and Korea vets imparticular.

It shows absolutely no class. Sometimes I wish some of our former WWII enemies' national traits were passed onto us. Such as a superior education system (Germany) and respect and honor for our parents and grandparents. (Japan)
