"If Congress increases VA funding above the President's request and does not offset this increase with spending reductions in other bills, the President will veto any of the other bills that exceed his request until Congress demonstrates a path to reach the President's topline of $933 billion." This is Bush politics at its dirtiest!

It is wholly right and proper that we remember those who gave their lives so that our nation and our freedom would endure. But honoring the dead is not enough. We must also repay our living veterans for their valor and sacrifices to the extent that it is in our power to do so. Too many veterans are struggling with medical or financial problems.

Three young men served honorably in Iraq, but came home unable to cope with their memories of combat. Each one sought help from the military or from the VA. But in each case, the hospital was overbooked, the counselors didn't listen, or the bureaucracy moved too slowly. Only months after their return from war, these young heroes committed suicide.

I had a big anniversary last week. April 1 marked the end of 2 full years I've spent at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Reforming the disability system that keeps us hanging around for no reason - a system so complex that it's all but impossible for soldiers to navigate - is going to take longer than renovating Building 18.

Journalists were allowed to take pictures and watch for only a few minutes before being ushered out. Reporters were not allowed to interview patients in Abrams Hall, citing logistics. The hospital instead made available 2 doctors, who spoke glowingly about the president's visit and had no information to provide about the facility's problems.
