Dear Senator:
Re: http://mrgrg-ms.org/f99-1402.html#conclusion
The US Court of Appeals for the federal circuit has said, in the
WILLIAM O. SCHISM and ROBERT L. REINLIE v. the UNITED STATES
case, We cannot readily imagine more sympathetic
plaintiffs than the retired officers of the World War II and
Korean War era involved in this case. They served their country
for at least 20 years with the understanding that when they
retired they and their dependents would receive full free health
care for life. The promise of such health care was made in good
faith and relied upon. Again, however, because no authority
existed to make such promises in the first place, and because
Congress has never ratified or acquiesced to this promise, we
have no alternative but to uphold the judgment against the
retirees' breach-of-contract claim.
The Court also said, "Perhaps Congress will consider
using its legal power to address the moral claims raised by
Schism and Reinlie on their own behalf, and indirectly for other
affected retirees".
So, we have the military hierarchy making a promise from the
early 1940s to the early 1990s they were not
authorized to make, and we have the greatest swindle of all
time
a broken contract with America's military retirees.
To see how we got to this point, I very respectfully request that
you look at and listen to a series of narrated web pages on the
Internet starting at http://mrgrg-ms.org/swindle00.html, and take those actions that are
necessary to "keep the promises made to America's military
retirees".
