Make them honor their commitment

When most veterans signed up, it was with the promise of being able to utilize veteran hospitals for future medical needs. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Many veterans have had their benefits discontinued because of the fact that it isn't a "service related" injury. Even worse, after most go and spend literally eight hours to have a five minute conversation with VA case workers where they are told that now they must wait 18 months for processing. In many cases, 18 months without treatment is simply not an option. Left with two options, a veteran can either wait until they become destitute enough to receive benefits, or go try a private provider (with a pre-existing condition). Until we make them honor the commitment made to our brave soldiers, how can they ask the soldiers to honor theirs?
