I watched a video today by Sec #DougCollins about the #VAcuts planned. From a quick search there is evidence that the #VA is doing better than 2019. Not sure how cutting around 80,000 jobs to get back to 2019 numbers is going to continue that. It probably won't. #veterans

Folks, veterans suffer, sacrifice for US. They have to prove they have injury/illness/cancer, etc & prove it was directly caused by their service, an ARDUOUS process. It took my father in law 50 years to get benefits from debilitating WWII injuries. Please call your reps/senators. Stand up for them
I'm sure that the the semi-official efficiency organization run by two billionaires will help handle this with grace and an understanding of Veteran needs.
