Here is my small 2 cents worth on the VA where I happen to work. Although the people down in trench's who actually care for and treat our veterans are tremendous. The VA as whole and our government are just covering their behinds with all this Brain Injury stuff, PTSD, and Wounded Warrior care. Here is what I witness. A veterans checks in and is registered with the VA which is what you are suppost to do once you have been discharge. They are given a survey to cover the above mentioned and this is done so they can put a check in the box when the VA reports back that they caring for the servicemen returning home. They are set up for a physical and little is done after that. All the VA is required to do is that initial exam after the veteran registers. Something needs to be put in place to make sure that we are not just checking the box's for some governement report and our veterans are getting continious care.
I don't think this is the type of response you were looking for but like I said this is what I see happening to our veterans that are returning from harm's way.
