军功授地是美国土地制度中的一个重要问题。美国国会（包括联邦国会）先后颁布了上百个军功授地法令,依据此类法令,在短短几十年的时间里,处理掉近7000万英亩国家土地。退伍军人们并未从军功授地中得到多少实惠,大多数土地落入土地投机者手里。但其总体效果促进了西部的迅速开发。 Military power is an important issue in the United States land system. The United States Congress, including the Federal Parliament, has promulgated hundreds of military service decrees. According to such decrees, nearly 70 million acres of state land have been disposed of in just a few decades. Veterans have not benefited much from military service, and most of the land falls into the hands of land speculators. However, its overall effect has promoted the rapid development in the west.
