There is no excuse for this none whatsoever, except it allows them to hire more Affirmative Action Gubmint employees to harass Veterans.

It's probably mostly "Affirmative" with very little emphasis on "Action".

"Veterans must navigate hundreds of forms, more than a dozen agencies for services"

All smoothly and efficiently handled by unionized AA employees.

It seems as though every layer of government, from the locals to fedzilla has become nothing but one large government works program for minorities, hired by gender/race/orientation instead of knowledge.

When the band plays "Hail to the Cheif", they're pointing the cannon at you.

Funny strange that Obamacare has paid navigators to help people sign up but veterans are on their own to get VA and service disability benefits. So a 20 year old dreamer gets a paid helper to fill out and navigate the mess that is Obamacare but a veteran gets a surly civil servant that seems to work to keep the vet from getting any benefits. Funny strange indeed

Well, Ed, as evidenced by the lack of posts to your thread - vets issues are low on the FREEPER’S list of concerns.

That has been in evidence for too long now.
