Soldier Deposits and Disbursement Procedures for Veterans
Letters from soldiers and a master sergeant defend the soldier's deposit system as a practical banking option within the Army. They criticize Rep. Cole's plan to freeze or delay withdrawals, urging immediate access upon discharge and opposing a compelled transition to civilian banks or a “dole” system. They argue deposit funds belong to the soldiers and should be withdrawn or redeposited as they see fit.
