I mean, really.

Answer: Because the __________________________.

Why dont we all just apply to the WWP and eliminate the VA.

I did not mean to change the subject. They can afford to fight a war in Afghanistan and bomb Iraq. They can also hire 300,000 employees to insure that your denials are pristine and up-to-date.

Sadly they cannot afford to compensate Veterans.

They will however, kill you for free with frustration, waiting lists and backlogs.

Proof: the 400 pound Gorilla in the room is THE MERE EXISTENCE OF THE WOUNDED WARRIOR PROJECT.

I contacted the WWP, they told me I wasn't elegable because my disability was from the Vietnam war. I think they need to change their name.

They should state in their commercials that Vietnam veterans are not eligible. Sounds like they only provide assistance to post 9/11 veterans.

When the money flows greed takes over. I know that the wounded warrior project does good work. I have no problems that they limit who they can help. I belonged to a DAV Chapter and was elected Adjutant where I discovered that the income of about 300,000 a year was mostly spent on members going to DAV meetings. In Las Vegas, New orleans and other travel destinations.

I quit and joined a local VVA where most of their money and volunteer work went to helping Veterans. I am sure it could be the opposite somewhere else.

Today in the review and fixing the VA I think that Service officers and their training should be part of the review. They shoudl be tested and certified.
