Maybe if Bernie wasn't coming on I would. So let me leave you with this....

A vet, let's say a vet who served 2 years, hurt his ankle in the service. This vet now gets ALL of his medical care for free from the VA. This vet now knows that if they makes an appointment for there ankle they will get paid for driving time to the VA round trip rate. This vet now makes an appointment once a month for a regular doctor appointment and try's to get physical therapy as many times as possible during the month. Some vets get hundreds of dollars a month in travel pay to go the doctor.

The VA is being abused and no politican will touch it. I've seen so much waste and abuse it disgusting. The longest line in the VA is the travel pay line.
