While this bill has only just been introduced and may or not pass, I feel it is a slap in the face once again to Vietnam veterans. The two legislators who introduced this bill, Rand Paul and Tom Udall have all good intentions in mind and I support the military and out veterans wholeheartedly but let's not forget the Vietnam veterans. I for one never received a dime although I do know there were some states that did give bonuses to veterans. SP5 Mark Kuzinski SFC Joe S.

We are Service Members, not mercenaries.... If the mission isn't sustainable or the goals were achieved, then end the war. Sounds like someone might be trying to pander for the vet vote in the upcoming election...

Thank you, my friend SFC William Farrell for making us aware. It seems very strange to me, that some legislators are proposing a deal to end our participation and war-fighting in the GWOT war in Afghanistan and give every GWOT veteran a $2,500 bonus. I suppose that would mean everybody who was awarded the GWOT medal/ribbon would be eligible for the bonus.
THis certainly seems like a politically motivated gambit.
Caveat: I was awarded the GWOT medal/ribbon.
