This important discussion necessary for all of us to hear around attempts to privatize the VA, opposed by most Veterans groups, describes the work of the VA not only for Veterans but the everyday things we use developed in their research area, among other work by the VA.

The attempts to discount the work of the VA and privatize it are nothing more than more capitalistic greed--more capitalism on steroids.
