dandygirl - would it not be a crime to reduce the ranks of ANY work unit that SERVES its clients in need as the va does its clients? each is a special interest group for one reason or another. i assume you set veterans above the other groups because of service to country; but you do so without knowing/understanding the 'stories' of other group's members who may be just as worthy. which makes me question - who are 'you' [both the singular you and the collective] to judge which group should be set above others. setting our vets above others is not what vets fought for - they fought for the rights of all - even the right to quick processing.
