That pension should be retroactive as well. The government treats veterans in general exceedingly poorly (just Google Walter Reed hospital), but nuclear testing? That is beyond negligence... it's criminal. Yeah, this shit is wrong. That pension should be retroactive as well.

In other instances, such as the Spanish-American War and the Japanese Internment Camps, at least the U.S. government was being forthright about their assholeyness and racism. This situation here is pure treachery. They had to DEBATE whether or not to pass this bill?! How far have we *really* come since 1945 if in 2008 we still need to debate whether or not nonconsensual nuclear testing of American soldiers should be compensated? How does a person read this and not seethe with fury?
