Veteran's thanked by the Senate

The Uniform Services Former Spouses' Protection Act allows former spouses of military folk to get part of their retirements if they were married for atleast 10 years.
The Senate voted this month to remove the 10 year mandate from the act thus any veteran who retired from the military will see his cheating 'ex leaching off of his puny retirement check in 2007.
The new modification to the law will also remove the requirement to notify the veteran that it has received a court order to get his retired checks.

Absolutely sickening.....You are married for 4 months, go on a year tour to Iraq and come back to find out your wife has been boning everyone in sight. You divorce her and continue on with life.
After you retire you find out she get's 50% of your retirement check.

Seems to me the only bad guys ever mentioned are the wives at home.
If you're that scared of having your retirement taken and that sure your wife will bone everyone in sight, don't get married.
Vietnam and Korea could see a huge boost to their economy. All they have to do is have their courts issue rulings that GI's that knocked up women over there must surrender 75% of their retirements to support their offspring.
Of course no DNA would be needed in a communist country to prove if it really was his kid. Just some internet hacking to get names and SSN's of some retiree's and whallah....
Cash in baby!

Of course, no mention is made of the guys who serve overseas and take in some of the "local color" while their wives are at home, eh?

I don't think soldiers should be married...or at least until they've served so many years. Infidelity is a HUGE problem with military wives. Unfortunately, most of them are too young and inmature to deal with the stresses of being married to a soldier...and this can be a major problem for our guys who are deployed.
Yeah, I don't think Vietnam would be too particular about the technicalities. To them, "American" still equals mucho $$$$$.
ECC,
Actually, given the youth of many soldiers, I think they too might be a bit immature and unready for marriage. I mean, not to sound to glib about it, but I think you'll agree that it takes a lot less time to learn how to be a good soldier than it does to be a good husband or wife. Otherwise, I agree that maybe marraige should not be allowed for our men and women in the armed services under most circumstances.
If you get into that situation , GET A GOOD LAWYER.
This is NOT AUTOMATIC!
