Have you read the books mentioned? You really should. I was more blase' about it all until I read them and came to realize the costs to us all in $$, job opportunity, societal mores, etc.
No and I can't fathom anything in them that would make me want to tell a recently widowed wife of 52 years or their children that her husband and their father was a liar.

What do we as a community of veterans gain? Does the cost of the pain to the family justify the benefit? My question is what is the benefit?

What $$ are going to be recouped?
Which job opportunity is going to be created?
Whose societal mores are going to be changed?

Is telling the family really going to make a difference?
