It's pathetic that our wounded and sick veterans have to resort to a lawsuit to try to get the VA to process their claims and needs in a reasonably timely fashion, but as the judge says, he can't make that happen. The injuries and other service-connected health problems that are forced upon the members of our military services are one of the consequences of wars. Our goverment always pays great lip service to taking care of them, but when it comes to actually doing it, is unprepared and doesn't have the necessary money and facilities. Of course not . . . raising taxes is seen as anathema. They need to think about that when they send people to war.
