Why, when people look at the size of government, do politicians always look at injuring veterans as one of their first and best options?
...
I read the article and I came away with a totally different impression. If the way we care for veterans is reformed for the better, I don’t think it would be a drag on the DOD at all.
The routine care would be done by vouchers or savings accounts at regular facilities.
It is not possible to have a laser focus on winning wars if you are required by law to focus elsewhere.
I’m with you. The DOD could enforce rules the VA can’t or won’t because it’s full of political bureucrats and appointments.
I see a lot of jerking knees in opposition to this simple idea.
