Vietnam Veterans Did Indeed Receive Full GI Bill of Rights
In “On Affirmative Action, School Is by No Means Out” (June 18), James Flanigan states, “Still, it would have been better if, like returning World War II and Korean War veterans, Vietnam vets had been given a GI Bill of Rights, with money for education or to start a business or buy a home.”
In 1972 when I was attending college, there were many Vietnam vets on campus, myself included. Did I miss something in the article, or did Mr. Flanigan fail to do his research?

James Flanigan admits to being out of step on this issue. Vietnam-era veterans did indeed have GI bill benefits.
