Veteran Disability Attorney
The nonsense in Washington has included strangling the DOD of defense
budget. With the wind down in the
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it was inevitable that a troop draw down would
occur. The pace and planning on the draw down is now coming into
light. The Army
is to be reduced 60,000 troops and the Marines will reduce 20,000
troops. Those who know the Veteran Affairs world will know that these
80,000 will face years of delay in getting the medical treatment and VA disability ratings to which
they are entitled. Congress should not force DOD to draw down the troops
without insuring that VA can take care of these men and women in the VA
system. The impending cuts are independent of the $1.2 trillion in mandatory
cuts, otherwise known as sequestration, which will take place next month if
Congress fails to reach a preventative deal. Congress should at least try
to get this right.
