President Obama has ordered pensions cut off for WWII vets who defended Alaska.
Remember, Japan invaded Alaska about the same time as the Battle of Midway. As I get the story, these veterans served without pay.
It seems to me they would have been better off if we had never made Alaska a state. They could the have come to the continental US and be here as illegal aliens, rather than war veterans. Illegals get benefits, don't they?
