“To the VA, this is simply a process seeking out voids in paperwork,” said Rep. Tom Udall, D-N.M, at a Thursday hearing on Capitol Hill. “But to veterans, it’s a jolting realization that their day-to-day struggles are being questioned again.”
And this is how the administration supports the troops. They have cut pay, screwed with veterans other benefits, run a back door draft via stop-loss, and I've previously noted some of the other things, like not providing what should have been issued equipment, blocked payments to families who purchased that equipment out of their own pocket, and tried to revoke payments to soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. With this kind of support, being put in harms way is criminal. |
