It is also impossible to connect the death with any incident of the soldier's military service.
I adopt these as the reasons for my action in withholding my approval of this bill.
It is very clear to me that the Pension Bureau properly rejected the widow's claim for pension.
I suppose that every army ailment does not necessarily result in death or disability.
