The reason's why they can divide and conquer is because of ourselves. We have so many service organizations, VA, congress, senate and state legislatures that are supposed to be their representing our veterans that have only looked to benefit themselves. A suggestion might be to just let it go, dont enlist, quit the military, convince our son's and daughters, fathers and mothers that " From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever".

If 60mn stories had any impact. There would not be this storie saying the same thing but in a differnt time. Congress might hold hearings and show public fake outrage. However if you really want to know whats going on Read Gilbert v. Derwinski CVC ruling. There the judges noted that congress ordered the VA to write veterans denials to be as vauge as posibel. This order was so veterans could not win there appeal with any sucess. Unless veterans want to get there benifits. They must change there approch to the VA. Terry I did see the 60mn VA segment.

As a citizen of the United States of American I apologize for your 14+ yrs. of being “In Harm’s Way”, by your own Country. I’d like to tell you that you are in the minority with claims against the VA….but you aren’t.

As a widow, who has experienced the very same thing…I say DO NOT GIVE UP. EVER! UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES! You aren’t “asking” for anything. You have ALREADY paid the price!

A Senator is only your beginning. Keep up the good work!

When I did so they called the supplemental info a new claim which was then approved only after calling the Obamma White House comment line and the inspector general. But they called it a new claim just to back pay only to the new date, shorting me ovr two years of backpay. The problem is likely because, if I was told correctly,Bush-Cheney turned cost management of the VA over to Halliburton subsidiary KBR on a maged cost contract. Meaning that if they spend less than the budgetted amount by congress they pocket the difference. Dont know if that is true or nt, but if so EVERY VETERAN MUST CALL THER LAWMAKERS AND DEMAND THE END OF COST MANAGED CONTRACTS FOR VETERAN BENEFITS, AND TO THE BETTER TREATMENT OF VETERANS. As for draft deferment Cheney and AWOL Gone Wrong, they should move to Fallujah and see just how much the Iraqi's love them because every veteran I meet hates them.
