Seems To Me We Can Solve A Lot Of The V.A. Problems If We Stopped Sending Our Troops.....

to war. Congress creates these problems for the V.A. and now Congress is criticizing the V.A. for not being able to handle the backlog that they in fact created for the V.A. The V.A. was in shambles during the BushCo administration. This administration came in and put a lot of effort into turning the V.A. around - but the extra burden that two long wars - Iraq and Afghanistan - has put on the system and the fact that Viet Nam baby boomer veterans are creating an extra burden - what do you expect?
