Quit studying things and paying huge dollars to consultants and contractors who will draw things out in the name of making money.
We have veterans either killing themselves or hurting others because of PTSD, we have veterans feeling intense shame as they not only try to figure out their place in the world deal with issues that most of them have no idea how deep they go and then going to a food back.

I want a study as we may need to revamp our processes from the ground up (I have no idea). I hope our system isn't as bad as the states, but if it is, or getting there, fixing it now will cheaper (and morally correct in my eyes) then later.
If we overhaul the vet system, we should look at best practices around the world, i.e. a study. Done properly, the study will pay for the capital cost of itself fairly easier.
This doesn't mean I am not for immediate funding which can apply in high need areas, (i.e. psychology services if I am indeed correct) which then can increase or decrease post study.
I also don't really want to derail the point my thread to much with should we do a study or not however.
