What are some veteran issues you feel are being ignored that someone could write about?

Lack of real progress in clearing claims. Seems we are hearing stories more often of unprocessed claims bein found in lockers and closets. The VA should be hiring veterans for this...

It's not a new story, in fact it is getting really old yet it has never been discussed seriously. GWI and why 10,000 chemical alarms were disregarded and thrown under the rug of silence.

That war is considered by most who were not there as not really serious no real troop death count, but in reality we have over 270,000 veterans that have been dealing with debilitating chronic conditions for the last 25 years. That is pretty serious where I came from. Another discussion I am 80% disabled my chronic pain has never been dealt with sufficiently. The VA treats us veterans as if we are all at risk of addiction and this results in under medicating chronic pain, at least in my case that is an issue. Also their treatment for CFS is plainly a joke, and if those don't do it for you how about a writing something about why Doctors at the VA seem to have little to no real "bed side manner" to them. I have had several now I would not have treat my worst enemies.

One of the major issues is the US government policy of deducting disability payments from retirees military pension if the disability is rated at less than 50%. So they are actually penalizing Vets for getting hurt in war and to add insult to injury what they are saying is that you got hurt but you were not hurt bad enough. There is a bill in congress to eliminate this policy but they can't get enough sponsors to bring it up for a vote.
