Just to reinforce the lack of care the vets are getting.


WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs, which touts its special programs to treat post-traumatic stress disorder in returning soldiers, spends little on those programs in some parts of the country, and some of its efforts fail to meet some of the VA's own goals, according to internal reports obtained by McClatchy Newspapers.

In fiscal year 2006, the reports show, some of the VA's specialized PTSD units spent a fraction of what the average unit did. Five medical centers — in California, Iowa, Louisiana, Tennessee and Wisconsin — spent about $100,000 on their PTSD clinical teams, less than one-fifth the national average.

You see all the pro-troop people at protests, but I do not see them at anything like a protest for the vets that need help. They disgust me!

Wow. That doesn't sound like much.

I think most here know how I feel about the Vet care thing. IMO, a billion is not enough when it comes to care of those we asked to sacrifice everything.
