Yahoo! News - Vets Not Eligible for Lifetime Care

A federal appeals court reluctantly agreed with the government that military recruiters had no legal authority to promise World War II and Korean War veterans that they would get free lifetime health care if they stayed in the service 20 years.

Even the judges in the majority acknowledged they were uncomfortable with the ruling, writing that they "can do no more than hope Congress will make good on the promises made in good faith" to soldiers entering the service between 1941 and 1956.

There is no way Bush will restore these cuts and broken promises to veteran's, he is actively seeking to cut veteran's benefits.
