Walker power grab splits vets groups

The Veterans of Foreign Wars has endorsed the proposal, but the American Legion has gone on record in opposition.

Here's an earlier post with the details.

It goes something like this: when asked to explain certain problems as they relate to people's behaviors, most people most frequently attribute OTHER people's problems or mistakes to their personal, permanent character liabilities and they attribute THEIR OWN problems to unavoidable, temporary, situational conditions that are not their own negative traits.
