The Legion: Royal Canadian Legion

Royal Canadian Legion: The Royal Canadian Legion is describing the government's position as "reprehensible.", according to Huffington Post. The Legion and other veterans groups have scoffed at the argument and OTTAWA - The Conservative government is facing a revolt among veterans groups for claiming it is not bound by the promises of previous governments in the care of wounded soldiers. The government, which intends to defend against a class-action lawsuit by veterans of the war in Afghanistan, says it's unfair to bind current and future governments to promises that date back to the First World War.
