I read somewhere a ways back that there was a faction of vets who wanted to hang in there with the current VA guy...they were not getting support for Trumps picks...
The problem is The American Legion, The VFW, and Amvets oppose the dissolution of the VA system.
The American Legion is the reason for the creation of the Department of Veteran Affairs. They are fighting privatization because of thier reverence to history.
The problem is the VA has become a bloated bureaucracy. A dumping ground for political appointees and government workers I’m not sure it could ever be cleaned up.
