Can't use this as a criteria, because they all say the same things on this issue.
The only way a promise to the vets would make me more likely to vote for a candidate, is if one promised to get rid of the Department of Veteran's Affairs and put us under The Department of Defense.
That promise would show me that the candidate at least had some understanding of what is wrong with the VA and how it has for so long been the stepchild Dept of the Federal Gov.....
P.S. That promise would kill a candidate, because even though it would be great for our vets to eliminate one very large layer of dysfunctional beaurocracy and put that money twards paitent care, the VA Brass and the leaders of the Major Veterans groups (that schmooze it up with the top VA brass) would rail agianst it big time.....
There is talk of change to the system that would move the burden of proof to the Govt proving the Vet doesn't have the ailment claimed, as opposed to the other way around.
