Korea War Vets Benefits May Be Soon Curtailed
Washington reports the government weighs ending the Korean War era free four year college educations for draftees with two years of service and shifting toward four year enlistment incentives. The move is part of a broader recruitment and reserve plan under consideration by Assistant Defense Secretary John A. Hannah and being reviewed by agencies for Congress. Rep. Teague has also promoted keeping the Korean GI bill, tracing to the World War II program that educated millions and cost billions, with other benefits like home loan guarantees and unemployment protections.
