Less known is the fact that the legal basis for our involvement in Vietnam was the SEATO (Southeast Asia Treaty Organization) collective defense treaty. Because of the RP-US alliance, within the context of the MDT, the AFP's conventional military function was limited to occasional participation in the SEATO military exercises and joint exercises with American forces in Philippine territory. According to ANF Federal Secretary Jill Iliffe, the proposed legislation outlining new compensation arrangements for injured military personnel perpetuates existing anomalies that have left SEATO nurses (nurses who volunteered to work in civilian medical teams during the Vietnam conflict) still struggling for recognition and access to benefits under the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986. |
