Why lawmakers voted

Voted No

Why they voted this way

The lawmaker votes against the bill because he believes it devalues the sacrifice of combat veterans by granting benefits to those who did not experience actual combat, comparing it to giving special recognition items to everyone rather than just those who earned them.
