United States - Veterans in lawsuit

The United States military has failed to correct the wrongful discharge of thousands of Vietnam veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, an advocacy group says in a federal lawsuit.

Vietnam Veterans of America on Monday joined a proposed class action lawsuit in Hartford, Connecticut, against the Army, Navy and Air Force. It says the veterans suffered PTSD before it was recognized and were discharged under other-than-honorable conditions.

"These service members must not be denied the recognition and benefits they earned," said John Rowan, president of Vietnam Veterans of America.
