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.
And besides sending an email to Kent Hehr is worthless, his only job is to be Justin's cheerleader.

Kent has been back and forth across the country re-opening Veterans service offices that were closed by prior regimes. He's been a tireless advocate for programming and services in general for veterans. I would say an email to his office would be a worthwhile step actually, and you probably have no evidence to the contrary. I don't know why this issue needs to be politicized or somehow turned into partisan dischord; it's a serious problem that all of the governments have failed on over the past couple of decades.
