Army To Use Point System To Discharge War Veterans
The War Department told eight million soldiers about a 12 month plan using a point system to decide who leaves. Eligibility rewards service length, battle participation, parenthood, and months served both in the army and overseas. Secretary Stimson says longer serving men with children should go first.
