geetrue, I'm glad you got your life together. You're right it is all just a system, but systems can be changed. If you read the article, you'll note that the VA spokesman said the renovations had been planned for quite some time. I'll bet no one in the VA bureaucracy was speeding the work along until the ACLU filed their lawsuit. The veterans deserve much more than they're receiving and it's a pity that it takes an organization more associated with left-wing/liberal cause to put a fire under the VA. It makes you wonder how much effort on behalf of veterans is being exerted by the right-wingers who are there when the fight starts but seem oddly absent afterwards. Maybe some of the fat cat defense industries and business interests might want to do something to say thanks for the profits...
