As usual we veterans must protect our benefits, this has been and unending fight since there were veterans. There is some waste in the VA program....just as there is some waste in any program...ie..I don't see paying for illnesses that are not service related or service connected for folks that were not medically retired or retired under normal guidelines. No doubt we are going to see our Tricare rates go up....this was a prime target under the Bush administration and will be under these guys.
