That is great news Grant. I had been following the story for a while and am glad that they made this decision.
"A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve, is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it." anon

The article doesn't mention it, but NPR did interview her about this issue a few weeks back. Older members (and some not so old) will remember this politician as the female sidekick who succeeded Mrs. Peel in "The Avenger" TV show from the 1960-70's. She told the interviewer that her father was a commander of Ghurka troops in India in the 1940-50's, so she felt strong ties with this unit. That's why she went to bat so strongly for them.

Excellent news! This is what should have been done in the very beginning. Its shameful the British government even considered an alternative.
