    This could be a good thing if he could serve the thousands of vets without having an overload of cases that get stacked on top of each other and possibly overlooked.

    Thats nice the VA has given me the run around for years. It dont matter who they present to serve the vets, they are told what they will not do and the gentlemen will not cross that line.
    25 years and treated like something that starts with a capital S and ends with a T
    Government spends more money on Vets PR than helping
    Loser operation and lies
