The American Legion Slams Veteran-Unfriendly 'Coburn Proposal' to Cut VA and Military Spending -- WASHINGTON, July 20, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --: "Sen. Coburn has introduced a proposed amendment to the fiscal year 2012 Military Construction Appropriations (MilCon/VA) Bill that would, in the Legion's opinion, possibly deny benefits to many deserving veterans who have been exposed to the notorious Vietnam-era 'Agent Orange' and other toxins.  The MilCon/VA bill is the legislation that funds not only military construction but the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as well."
